Re: Break root passwd
Did you ever use .rhosts or imported a ssh key?
Otherwise you need to reboot in single user mode.

Re: Break root passwd
There are several ways to fix the password if you have sudo, or root has a .rhosts connection from another system, or you have ssh with a public login from another system. All of these solutions require a prior installation and/or setup.

Re: Break root passwd
In the past I've used a tool named "crack", which is still available from the porting centre. I recall that some security people also used crack in the mid 90s to preventively guess weak user passwords before hackers could. But that was before shadow passwords were common, and before strict rules to enforce strong passwords were available.
Good luck.

Re: Break root passwd
As all gurus said that passwd hacked/decoded is not possible but there are so many crack 3rd party tools are there you can try those tools for crack your root passwd.
More over if you have root equivalent user then also you can change your root passwd
Or if it├в s a cluster system then login into node B as a root and try remsh into node A if you are able to login into node A then you can change your passwd..
Beat of :luck
