I am trying to get into an inherited computer with Linux 2.0.35.

Have found and read several articles on recovery from lost passwords.
All suggest entering something at the LILO prompt. I have tried all
variations that I can think of, including those listed here:
linux single

linux=single

linux 1

linux=1

linux init=/bin/sh rw

init=/bin/sh rw

linux init=/bin/bash

init=/bin/bash

I have preceded the above with all of the entries here( tab, shift,
alt, enter, ctrl+x, prior to linux single, etc.)………no luck.

I know that what I'm trying to do is possible, as I personally
witnessed same a few years ago and the person did not have a boot
floppy/disk or anything other than the knowledge that I'm looking for
( wish I had contact with him now!).

Is anyone out there able to steer me in the right direction??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
