    Post some cool linux tips and tricks here :

    1.hacking root : while booting from grub press a key and enter parameters :
    init=/bin/bash and boot
    the booting will stop at : #none: prompt
    after this give command : mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda*
    where /hda* is the mount point of your root that is /hda1 id it is hda1 ..
    after this just enter the new root password and reboot. .!

    well the above trick can also be avoided as anyone will then be able to chaneg your root ... i'll post that some other day
