Hallo allemaal (hello everybody)
Helaas ben ik het wachtwoord van antiX kwijt.
Hoe kan ik dit herstellen?Op een Nederlandstalige website kom ik voor Ubuntu en Linux Mint dan dit tegen:
https://sites.google.com/site/computertip/wachtwoordvergetenMaar mijn opstartregel ziet er anders uit.
Hoe los ik dit op?I lost my password. How to fix this? (With Grub?)

I think you can press “e” at the grub boot line and at the end of the “linux” line type ” 1″. Then press F10 which should start the line and boot to init level 1 (as we do not have systemd init) leaving you at the root user prompt. From there you can type “passwd USER” where “USER” is the username of the account that needs a new password.

Oke. I tried. After F10 de system didn’t boot by itself.
After booting, I tot the line:
Give root password for maintenance (or type Control -D to continue). But that didn’t work.Dave
OK sorry, it has been a while since I have done it this way (last time it did not ask for the password), normally I change the password with the live cd/usb I installed with. It looks as though you can type “rw init=/bin/bash” instead of “1”. I just tested this and it seems to work, though I had to hold to power button to turn the computer off.
I guess this behaviour changed with a modification to /etc/inittab to
# What to do in single-user mode. ~~:S:wait:/sbin/suloginas my older system specifies single user mode to be /bin/bash

No problem. I tried a few combinations with the example of the Dutch website and I succeeded. It was a little bit what You wrote here.
Thank You for reacting!
