Suse Linux User in need of help.

Hi group.

I can't seem to log into my own Linux server, I've tried all my favorite
passwords, but no joy.
How do I get back in to my own system?

Regards,

Mr Gavin David Small.

Login as root and change the user password.

Same question had an answer not very long ago (from me). As it's not a
good idea to post a full answer, use Google and search for -

linux single user boot password

or

linux change root password

or

linux recover root password

BTW why use what looks like your account name as your email address?

first off,
linux passwords are case sensitive...
be sure you didn't hit your caps lock by mistake

2nd...
it does not matter what your favorite passwords are...
you need to use the correct password for your system
