Although the old way of interrupting the boot process (init=/bin/bash) still works, it is no longer bulletproof and recommended. 'Systemd' uses 'rd.break' to interrupt the boot. Let's have a quick walk through the whole procedure.  + +### Boot into the minimal mode + +Reboot the system and press `e` while being on the kernel list page, before the autoboot starts the system automatically. You get into the edit mode. + +### Interrupt the boot process + +In the kernel string - at the end of the line starting `linux 16 /vmlinuz- ect` type `rd.break`. Then Ctrl+X to reboot. The system boots into the initial ram drive and it's mounted on /sysroot In this mode you are not required to type the password. + +### Remount the system so that it can read and write + +``` + switch_root:/# mount -o remount,rw /sysroot/ +``` + +### Make /sysroot your root + +``` + switch_root:/# chroot /sysroot +``` +The command line will change slightly. + +### Change the root password + +``` +sh-4.2# passwd +``` + +### Load SELinux policy + +``` +sh-4.2# load_policy -i +``` + +### Set context type on /etc/shadow file + +``` +sh-4.2# chcon -t shadow_t /etc/shadow +``` +Note: You could bypass the last 2 steps by creating an autorelabel file instead, but autorelabeling might take a long time. +``` +sh-4.2# touch /.autorelabel +``` +For that reason, and despite it is easier, it should be regarded as the 'lazy option', and is not recommended. + +### Exit & reboot + +Exit & reboot and log in with your new root password. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems + +作者:[Rado Folwarczny][a] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]:https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems +[1]:https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems#h4-1-boot-into-the-minimal-mode +[2]:https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems#h4-2-interrupt-the-boot-process +[3]:https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems#h4-3-remount-the-system-so-that-it-can-read-and-write +[4]:https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems#h4-4-make-sysroot-your-root +[5]:https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems#h4-5-change-the-root-password +[6]:https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems#h4-6-load-selinux-policy +[7]:https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems#h4-7-set-context-type-on-etc-shadow-file +[8]:https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems#h4-8-exit-reboot +[9]:https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems#h1-objective +[10]:https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems#h2-requirements +[11]:https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems#h3-difficulty +[12]:https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-reset-the-root-password-in-rhel7-centos7-scientific-linux-7-based-systems#h4-instructions
