Ok just installed 7.1.

Everything works, I think.

But when I try to connect over the network, it's not taking the password.

I KNOW I set up the right password. I even set the flag to permit connecting via root over the network.

On the menu, user accounts tells me I don't have access. I was hoping it would permit me to create a new account.

Tell me I don't need to reinstall linhes to fix this.

This worked for me.

Holy fsck! That worked!

I'd read that thread before but assumed it wouldn't work for me because I had set an actual root password.

I assumed it would make me type in the original before I could change it!

Thanks! You saved me having to reinstall it all!

This saved me before as well.

The link doesn't point anywhere useful any more, anyone have the info?
