[LI] Password ...

[Raj Mathur <raju@xxxxxxx>]

I hope your brother knows how to use vi or a similar editor.  Here is
the sequence of operations:

At lilo prompt, boot with:

	linux init=/bin/sh (put name of your kernel instead of ``linux'')

On shell prompt:

	mount -n -oremount,rw /

Edit /etc/passwd and remove everything between 1st and 2nd :

reboot.  Now you have a null root password.
