Absolutely not. |

It might be possible to obtain a root login without ever logging in. |

|
| 13 |
Reboot the system. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If you are using LILO: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Choose your kernel. Append " init=/bin/sh" and press enter. You should get a "#" prompt in a while. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
If you are using GRUB: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Press "e", then select de kernels parameters, and press "e" again. Append " init=/bin/sh". Press |
| 22 |
enter. Press "b" to boot it. Same results. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Now, that's pretty much like chrooting to /mnt/gentoo when installing. Run env-update && source |
| 25 |
/etc/profile. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Now emerge pam, change your root password (or remove the hash altogether from /etc/shadow), etc, etc. |
| 28 |
|

Hope it helps. |
