Re: retrieve root password
If you have followed password complexity guidelines, "John the ripper" or crack may be unable to retrieve password for root.
Also, obtain permission from management prior to trying such programs, they are not permitted by many companies.
Single user mode is a much better, approved way to proceed. Requires of course console access.

Re: retrieve root password
Although "RedHat" is quite a broad term...

Re: retrieve root password
Wel as i know you cant get ur old password back but if you sstart ur linux box in single user mode you can reset ur root passwd. this not helps you to get in to a system where it is protected with boot loder password.
any way if you want to know how to do it from single user mode reply me and ill give you the steps.
