    This works for LINUX releases only.
    Plug your favorite PC or LAPTOP to the console port of the system, and reboot the
    system. If you can’t login because you lost all the password, you’ll have to power off,
    and power on the PBX. This is BAD and you might lost data !

    At the reboot process, a little while after the “Hit [CTRL]+B to enter the bios” you’ll see
    the GRUB prompt. Rapidly, hit the letter c on your keyboard

    Once you are at the grub prompt, enter those commands:


    root (hd0,4)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 console=ttyS0,9600 panic=5 single
    boot

    Note:
    console=ttyS0 the letter ‘s’ HAS to be uppercase, and is followed by the number zero
    The system will boot, and you’ll have a shell under root

    To change the password for root , just type passwd


    Once you enter your password, it might tell you that’s it’s not a valid password (ex: BAD
    PASSWORD: it is too short) , just re-enter the password and it will be validated.

    To change the password for any other user, just type passwd user

    Once your are done, type reboot , and that’s it !
