Shorewall users - May 2003 - Lost password

For some reason, we lost the password to the only account we had on our
firewall.  We are running the version of Shorewall that came with Linux
Mandrake 9.0.  What can we do short of reinstalling everything.  We have
numerous DNAT entries that would be lost were we to reinstall.

Thank you,

Hi,

Why don?t to change the password?

1. Reboot system (<CTRL>+<ALT>+<DEL>)
2. Use your boot loader to tell your system to boot to run-level 1
   (For LILO this is mostly "linux 1")
3. Change password

Boot the system into single user mode and change the password.
