How to Crack Linux Password?

How to crack the Linux password?
This method can work with most of the Linux Distribution, but not with all.
As soon you start your Linux System, you will get a prompt for selecting the operating system shown below.(I am using Redhat Enterprise Linux Server).


Press space bar immediately as soon as you get the above screen (The screen remains open only 3 seconds).

Press “e” from this screen to edit the command before booting. You will get another window looks like below

Select the middle option which has got a word “quiet”(This word will be appearing any part of the line”) and press “e” again. This will bring another window looks below

Remove the word “quiet” and type “single” in the  place of “quiet” and press “Enter”. This will bring the previous window and press “b” to boot the operating system.



After booting the operating system it will bring console prompt(Command prompt) of Linux OS. This prompt is the root console prompt and  type “passwd” to change the  password of “root” user. Reboot the system and use the password which you have set now.

Enjoy!!! You have cracked the Linux system password using this method
