Re: find out passwd..
Try boot the system as single user mode.
from lilo prompt
boot: linux 1 or linux s
1 for "runlevel 1"
s or S or single for "single usermode"
Good luck

Re: find out passwd..
I'm unaware of a way to 'decrypt' the encrypted passwords on a modern Linux system without having the original password first.

Re: find out passwd..
Once booted in single-user-mode (runlevel 1) you will not be asked for a root password. Do 'vi /etc/passwd' and delete the crypted password characters or '*' character.
Then with passwd you will not be asked to enter the old password. You can set your own. From that moment, you regain full control of the system.
Console-access required.
This trick works for almost all (l)unix systems. Only difference is how-to get into single user mode. But it always starts with the interruption of the early boot sequence.
Good luck

Ceesjan

Re: find out passwd..
using sudo or other utilities
you will need to boot
single-user mode.
Check the file /etc/lilo.conf
to see if a password is set there. It might be the root password.
Also check /etc/fstat or
lilo.conf to determine what
the mount point for / is.
If you have problem booting
to single user mode, get a
rescue disk from debian.org.
Once you are running as root
you can use passwd to change
the password. You don't need
the old password.
Shutdown and reboot and you
should be fine
