Hi Marco, |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
bad and ugly: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Boot into grub menu (I only know this for grub, other bootmangers |
| 20 |
should have similiar). |
| 21 |
Inhibtit automatic boot by moving the select bar up and down with the |
| 22 |
cursor keys. |
| 23 |
If you have locked grub with a password (you have?) enter "p" and |
| 24 |
enter the password. |
| 25 |
Move the select bar onto the commandline, which give the kernel |
| 26 |
parameter. |
| 27 |
Press "e" for edit. |
| 28 |
Goto the end of the line |
| 29 |
Enter ' 2' after the last parameter. |
| 30 |
Press "b" for "boot". |
| 31 |
You will end up on a commandline and you will be able to login. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
By the way: |
| 34 |
By giving " init=/bin/sh" instead of " 2" you can bypass the root |
| 35 |
and any other login. |
| 36 |
Thats why it is important to lock grub with a passsword. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Thats only my lightspeed, your time machine brand may vary ;) |

Good luck! |
