Forgotten Password Recovery

If the administrator of a system forgets the password of the user admin, the following method can be used
to reset the password to the empty password so that the system can be accessed as admin with no
password required. The password can then reset to a secure one via the CLI.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Boot the system to single user and execute a script to reset the admin password in the active
database. If any database corruption is suspected, the script resets the system database to its
initialized default. The admin password is not set in such a database. A system booted to single user
mode does not require a privileged user password. The system can be rebooted by power cycling. It is
assumed the person using this procedure is able to access the system's console and can see the
entire boot process (this is either over a serial console or the system's direct console).
2. Once the system is starting to boot, the following GRUB message should be seen (GRUB is the boot
loader for the system):
Grub Loading stage 2...
Press any key to continue.
[This message repeats (once a second) on a new line several times, and if no key is pressed the system
boots normally. You should press a key to enter the GRUB command line]
.
.
.
Press any key to continue.
[Assume the user presses the space key (for example)]
3. Next, you should see the following GRUB text which allows you to select one of the 2 images to be
booted. Choose the desired image by using the arrow keys so that GRUB indicates that the desired
entry will be booted.
