Linux root user password

Hello all,
I am having a problem to login as root user this is what i got:
[oracle@localhost ~]$ su
Password: passwd
su: incorrect password
Or I try
[oracle@localhost ~]$ su
Password: password
su: incorrect password
[oracle@localhost ~]$
So my question is how can I recover the root user password?
I am using RHELinux 5.2
Thanks for help

Please need help..and some brains too it seems as you are not even bothering reading and attempting to research and understand the options given.
Another method would be to use the original o/s installation CD/DVD and boot from it. It should have an "emergency boot/recovery" option.This boots the o/s from the CD/DVD and detects and mounts the local hard drives. If the installation media does not support such a boot option, download an Ubuntu installation (aka Live) CD and use this to boot the server - and then manually mount the root partition.
Edit the +/etc/shadow+ file on the local drive and remove the root password string from the file. Save and exit. Reboot from the harddrive - logon without having to supply a root password.
If you cannot follows these simple instructions, then you should not be dealing with o/s admin without undergoing some formal training first.

Resetting forgotten root user password

I've forgotten my root user password and I don't know how to reset it. Anybody out there who can give a helping hand?
Thanks a million.

iBook g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Boot from your Installer CD. After the installer loads select Reset Password from the Installer menu. In the dialog select the icon for the startup volume, then select the option System Administrator (root) from the drop down menu.

Startup disaster, Root/user password change, Please help!!

Hi, my ibook g4 was purchased on ebay through a seller with 100% feedback (a school district). It came with Tiger already installed, and I bought the Leopard Retail upgrade disc, installed all that, and did software updates to get it up and running at 10.5.8. It ran perfectly for the first two days.
Then on startup, the blue screen issue which lasted forever. I put in the Update install disc to run disc utility: A-ok. Tried again, and again. Nothing.
Finally, I went to the installer menu, and reset the user/root/admin passwords.
Now, even when I put the install disc in, it doesn't even go to the gray apple. Instead, it just gives that "?" /faces pictures intermittently.
I was wondering if anyone has had any such problem, and found a solution.
I should add that I already attempted "Safe" mode and even "Transfer" mode, with firewire/friend's macbook. All to no avail.
Is there any way to FIND that hard drive in there again?
Thanks, everyone!
Robert

HI,
Now, even when I put the install disc in, it doesn't even go to the gray apple. Instead, it just gives that "?" /faces pictures intermittently.
Indicates that your iBook can't find a System Folder to boot from.
Then on startup, the blue screen issue which lasted forever. I put in the Update install disc to run disc utility: A-ok. Tried again, and again. Nothing.
Did you actually boot from the install disc or just insert into the optical drive? In order to run Disk Utility from the install disc...
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

Cisco Unity Connection root account password

How could I get the linux root account password for my lab unity connection? I successfully created the account but it gives me a passphrase is there a tool to convert that into a password?

That only Cisco TAC can provide and only for legitimate troubleshooting purposes or to apply the workaround of a bug.
Look at htluo's blog, there was a non-supported method of creating a root account. It clearly mentions that the procedure should only be performed on non-production servers so if all you want is to play around with the lab server you can do it.

How to configure IDM to ignore root user, from a linux machine?

I have a lot of linux machine, that I would like to mananger the users, with IDM.
But, the root password of all machines, must be different in each machine, and the root user, can't be managed by IDM, due security reasons.
Does any one know how to force IDM ignore root user on all machines?
Thanks!

You can define an "excluded accounts" rule for your resource to do just this. Identity Manager ships with a few default ones for Unix and Windows system accounts. You might start using one of those as a template for your own account rule.

[SOLVED] Xorg not starting on non-root user [My First Linux]

Hello, I recently turned back to linux after digging up my old ASUS EEE 900a, which I messed up with partitioning fun after trying to cram Windows XP on it and etc. Anyways, I managed to fix it, and after Ubuntu being too big, I was turned on to Arch as a good distro, and I've been having a very good time setting everything up so far.
Anyways: My issue arises after needing to use a different user in order to use Chrome. I created a new account and tried to run startx like I usually do. It spat out the usual few lines, but failed and gave me this log:

I've tried looking for this problem elsewhere as it feels like such a newbie problem to have, but I have had difficulty. There are two errors in this log, I think, but they didn't mean much to me... Any help for a linux newbie? Thanks!
EDIT: Solved; as pointed out below, I needed a window manager for a non-root user to use.
Last edited by DJMankiewicz (2013-06-05 07:30:06)

Well, soon you'll have to try out one of the more minimal options, in which you don't use any desktop environment but instead you install your own window manager (openbox, dwm, i3, etc) and use small, dedicated programs. Given your extreme space restrictions, I recommend going that route! But, take your time because that requires a bit of learning: you need to figure out which parts of a desktop environment you really need, then you need to learn the proper names for them so that you can search for information, then you need to start fiddling with configurations, etc. Better first to make sure your first Arch Linux installation is up and running properly and to learn a bit about the system before entering that downward spiral.

How do i reset admin password. no disc but system automativally logs me in as administrator and can access root user mode

I recenly got this macbook, MA&00LL/A, max OS X, V:10.4.11, 2GHz IntelCore 2 duo, 2GHz, When I power up it automatically logs me on as administrator but prompts for password when I try to access/change certain features. I got the macbook from my cousin who has forgot password and has lost disc. I can access root user mode but as iam unfamiliar with apple I am hesitant to delete anything without making things worse. Is their anyway I can reset this admin password without the disc or simply delete this user and reconfigure system as myself as administrator. step by step instructions would be appreciated at this stage till i familiarize myself more. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If it came down to buying a disc, how much roughly do these cost??? thanks again

If you don't have your install disks you can get the 10.4 gray disks by calling Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 They can send them to you for about $16 per disk plus S & H. Just give them your serial number and they'll know which ones you need.
To find your serial number go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info, the System Profiler will then come up. The Serial Number (System) is down near the bottom of the Hardware Overview list.
If you don't have your install disc handy,then follow these steps
1. Start up in single-user mode (hold Command-S as thecomputer starts up).
2. Type: mount -uw /
3. Press Return.
4. Type this: passwd (user's short name) Replace "(user's shortname)" with the short name of the user account whose password you wish to reset. If you are not sure what the account name is, you can get a list of usernames by typing: ls /Users
5. Press Return.
6. Enter a new user password.
7. Press Return.
8. Type: reboot
9. Press Return.

Getting slapd to dump core when installed as a non-root users on linux

Doesn anyone know how to allow slapd do dump core when running on linux(redhat as4) while being installed as a non-root user?
I have tried the normal route of setting core to unlimited and that user to unlimited also in limits.conf.
I can do a kill -11 $pid with an instance running as root to get a core but no luck with an instance as a non-root user.

I forgot to mention that I'm running 6.1.

How to login as a non root user into linux server after rebooting

Hi,
Even though it is not related to Oracle, but i assume that all you are aware about linux.
I wrote a script to make DB up automatically when i reboot the server. But i have to login into the sever as the nonroot user instead of root user automatically.
How can i do this?
Thanks
Mahi

Install Tuxedo (tuxedo10gR3) as a root user in Linux Operating System

Hi,
Is it mandatory to install Tuxedo (tuxedo10gR3) as a root user in Linux Operating System?
Thanks
Soundappan

I saw we need root access as a prerequisites in the installation guid. (I assume we need the root access only to create a owner and group id on the unix system)
=====================
Prerequisites
Before you begin to install Oracle Tuxedo, make sure that you have the following resources in place:
• TCP/IP connectivity (required for PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.50 or higher) between the client machine and
the application server
• Approximately 235 MB of free disk space on the application server
• For UNIX, you must have root access.
============================
Thanks

Linux Firefox install html 5 video tags only playing when Firefox run as root user?

Installed Firefox 12.0 in CentOS 5.8 as root user. Any user can open FF but when visiting pages that have html5 video content only when FF is started as root is FF able to display the video ...otherwise you get the "No video with supported format and MIME type found."
Tried installing FF12.0 in users local directory as well still no luck.

So this doesn't work for you with the video tag?

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:

Non-root user cannot umount a SAMBA share if there is "SPACE" with the

I already post this to the bugs report http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9672, but I would like to see if someone in the forum can help.
Description:
If there are "SPACE" in the SAMBA share name. Then, a non-root user can mount that share, but cannot umount it with "umount" command. It gives "mount desagrees with the fstab" error. root can mount/umount without any problem.
Also, user can umount the share by "smbumount" without any problem.
Additional info:
* package version(s)
samba 3.0.28A-1
util-linux-ng 2.13.0.1-2
* config and/or log files etc.
/etc/fstab
Steps to reproduce:
1. Add a line in /etc/fstab as the following
//QNAP-500GB/USB\040Disk\0401 /mnt/eBooks smbfs workgroup=GROUPNAME,username=xxxxxx,ip=xxxxxxxx,password=xxxxxx,noauto,noatime,users,rw 0 0
as you can see that SAMBA share name "USB Disk 1" was replace by "USB\040Disk\0401".
2. Change UID of/usr/bin/smbmnt and /usr/bin/smbumount by
chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbmnt
chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbumount
3. Change the ownership of the mount path for this SAMBA share to a non-root user by
chown username:users /mnt/eBooks
4. mount as a non-root user (username)
mount /mnt/eBooks
5. ERROR! if umount as a non-root user; NO ERROR if umount as root.
[ning@HP-m8100y ~]$ umount /mnt/eBooks/
umount: /mnt/eBooks mount disagrees with the fstab
6. This SAMBA share can be umounted by
smbumount /mnt/eBooks

Did you try using %20 instead of a space? I know it works for URLs...worth a shot.
