If you forget your root password, no problem. Just
boot the boot/root disk, mount your root filesystem on <tt>/mnt</tt>,
and blank out the password field for <tt>root</tt> in
<tt>/mnt/etc/passwd</tt>, as so:
<P><TT> root::0:0:root:/:/bin/sh
<P></TT>
Now <tt>root</tt> has no password; when you reboot from the hard drive
you should be able to login as <tt>root</tt> and reset the password
using <tt>passwd</tt>.
<P>
Aren't you glad you learned how to use <tt>vi</tt>? On your boot/root
disk, other editors such as Emacs probably aren't available, but
<tt>vi</tt> should be.
