[CLUG] gaining control

[Donncha O Caoimh]

Well, CTRL-ALT-DEL always works unless you disabled it. then the usual
boot into single user mode at the lilo prompt:

LILO: linux single
or 
LILO: linux 1

where "linux" is the kernel you want to use..
you should get to a prompt then, or you might get asked for the root
password again :( 

Donncha.
