i installed a happy new installation of VectorLinux, did all the command stuff, set up a root account and a user account for myself, with 2 different passwords

after that, something went sour, so i had to re=install. after using a different root pword (wasn't paying attention) and a different other user password (for obvoius reasons) I can't login to root.


here's the deal.... the password that i made for root both times was complex, and case sensitive, so i'll have to putz around with it a little bit, and hack my own pword. i do want to narrow it down so #1 i don't have to reinstall again and #2 i'm not trying to figure out the wrong password combo.

(one was something liike BigJohn-1234, the other was something like GJjd--45A i'm not sure about the caps, spacing, special symbols and all, so if i can narrow it down to one or the other, i'm in better shape. and no, those weren't the passwords, they were just examples.)


anyway, the password should be the root pw from the last install, not the default or the first install, right...?

thanks,
SK
