Subject: [gentoo-user] Recovering root password
Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2008 13:30:08 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49bf44f10803241330r3b447b4bkde7a062c73905b94@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I've revived an old Gentoo laptop, but I've forgotten the root
password.  I remember the password to my user account and I can log in
there fine.  Can I recover the root password?
