Hi,

I haven't used chroot before and the man page doesn't seem very helpful.
Do you mean to boot the image in a chroot directory? Would it not
just ask for the password again? Long ago, on Solaris 2.6 I had to
regain a root password by deleting a field in maybe /etc/shadow or
something I don't remember.

Best regards,
Fred
