Reset Linux Root Password

I forgot the root password of my NAS, which is running Debian.

After some Googling I found an easy way to reset it.

Press “E” on your GRUB menu and add “init=/bin/sh” at the end of the “Linux” line. Also change “ro” to “rw”.

Press Ctrl + X to log in and change your root password.

passwd root

Turn it off and on again (power button).

Done.
