This article will explain in detail how CentOS7.2 forgets the root password for you. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you for reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

The way the CentOS 7 root password is reset is completely different from that of CentOS 6. Take changing the root password in single-user mode as an example.

1. Reboot, press esc, press e on the first line to edit

two。 Edit and modify two things: change ro to rw, and add init=/bin/sh after LANG=en_US.UFT-8

3. Press Ctrl+X to restart and change the password

4. Since selinux is open, you need to execute the following command to update the system information, otherwise the password will not take effect after reboot.

Our department shuts down selinux

# vi / etc/sysconfig/selinux

5. Restart the system

# exec / sbin/init
