Hello!

  I'm in deep trouble. We've forgotten root password, and the only
thing we have are boot floppy and fixit floppy. How we solve this?
I can mount harddrive partition, look at its /etc files, even 
vi works ;-).

  Booting in single-user mode does not help coz root partition 
is read-only. :-(

  Great thanks in advance!

Bye!
