Hi,
I tried to reset my root password according to these instructions:
https://rockstor.com/docs/howtos/reset-root-password.html
But on my openSUSE” Kiwi-ng created installer there is no Troubleshoot option:
How can i do that?
How can i do that?
@vtzsolt Welcome to the Rockstor community forum.
Yes, we have an outstanding issue to update that doc section here:
In that issue @Hooverdan provides the current work-around. Just be sure to retrieve a matching version of the rescue CD indicated by @Hooverdan in that issue to the version of Leap your install is based on.
Hope that helps.

@phillxnet Thank you for your reply.
I’ve tried the mentioned solution but unfortunately did not worked for me.
After that I tried the single user mode method and I successfuly reset my root password.
In grub I used “e” to edit the menu
At the end of line that begins with “linux” appended this text : init=/bin/bash
Pressed F10 and booted into emergency mode
Remounted the root file-system:
mount -o remount,rw /
Reseted the password:
passwd

@vtzsolt Glad you got this sorted.
Thanks for sharing your work-around here, we definitely need to get those docs updated with know working (and easy) methods.
Nice find re the init kernel boot mode: ideally we want something way less fiddly than that but if it works - all good.
Cheers.
