i'm sure i'm typing in the correct login\password but i keep getting login incorrect message,,is there any way to change my login\password or change my password without logging in?

i'm trying to log in as "root"

thanks
 
are you loging in as root from aremote host i.e. Telnet
or are you logging in from the console.

Most unix/linux distros disable root access via telnet.

Have you tried logging in as root from the console.

otherwise you will need a boot disk to reset the root account.
