RH134 / RH199: RHEL9.0 Lab reset root password using rd.break not working

[MuSa]

I followed the steps in the document, but I was asked to give the root password.

Here is what I did:

1. On the Grub menu type e

2. Append rd.break to the end of the line starting with linux

3. Hit Ctrl+x

It boots to this:

Give root password for maintenance
(or press Control-D to continue):_

Any tips, please!?

You did great. I felt your kindness or kind support.

I had this same issue in the labs and at home. I had to boot into rescue, reboot, then pause grub and add rd.break to the end of the rescue linux line. Took me three days but it's working now.

Rd.break not function on rhel9 but you can do init=/bin/bash after ctr x and than change password when you finish.
For rebooting put this command
/use/bon/reboot

Don’t forget to put touch /.autorabel for selinux

So the RH Lab set up is different from a virtual machine that you can set up at home (RHEL9)? because the rd.break method has worked perfectly fine for me in all attempts

[melnajim]

Maybe because there now version what vesion do you use ?
Maybe Redhat’s reput again

RHEL 9.1 or RHEL 9.2
