This article will explain in detail the solution of forgetting the root password in linux. 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.

1. On the Grub bootloader menu, select the entry you want to enter and type "e" to enter edit mode

2. On the second line (similar to kernel / vmlinuz-2.6.15 ro root=/dev/hda2), type "e" to enter edit mode

3. Add "init=/bin/bash" at the end of the sentence and enter

4. Press "b" to start the system.

In this way, we can get a shell of bash. After entering the shell, the mount mode of the root partition is read-only by default. We need to change it to writable, otherwise we cannot change the root password:

Mount-no remount,rw / passwd rootsyncmount-no remount,ro / reboot

This successfully changes the password of the root user for debian.
