When you have tons of passwords, its easy to forget new ones or old ones. This is how you reset the root or admin password for Endian 2.2.rc3

1.)Connect the video and keyboard and reboot your Endian Firewall.
2.)Boot the machine and continually thumb the down arrow until you see a graphical menu on a grey background with title GNU

GRUB. Press a cursor button in order to stop the countdown. Otherwise it will boot automatically.

3.)Select the first menu item and press 'a'.

# You should see:

grub append> root=/dev/hda3 panic=10 ro

4.)Add 'single' separated with a space in order to finally have this line:

grub append> root=/dev/hda3 panic=10 ro single

5.) Press ENTER which starts the boot process
6.) After the boot process, the command prompt on the bottom of the screen will look like this:

sh-3.00# _

6.)Enter

mount -o rw,remount /

7.)type passwd and confirm pressing ENTER. Enter new password and confirm.

* If you need to change also the admin password, do the following:

htpasswd -m /var/efw/auth/users admin

Sync the files:

sync

Finally reboot by entering:

reboot
