Alright long story short, i pissed some guy off, and he hacked my and deleted my root account, how i don't know, but i do know that i can't do anything that would of required being in root.

If any body can think of a way to create a root account with out being in the root, and with out access to any higher level function, it would be much appericated.

oh by the way i am running red hat linux, ver 7.3

i think you're pretty much screwed. here's a lesson for you, dont go around pissing people off

You might want to try rebooting the machine and then at the LILO: prompt type linux single

This might shove you into the system with root access and then you can recreate the root account. Not sure if this will work in your situation though.

Thanks man it worked perfectly

groovy.

A side note, you might want to password protect your LILO/Grub for this reason, since if you dont, ANYONE can boot right into single and play with the root access.
