Hi, i have a similar problem, i forgot my root password and the server 
its in a remote colocation site, is there a way to recover the encrypted 
password and crackit some way, i have my normal account (which is in 
wheel group), i even know that the root's pass begings with 
MAG_"something", but i really cant remember the complete root's pass, 
rebooting in single user mode is my best bet?
