Many thanks, Varti. I'll take a look later and let you know.

Thanks, Varti. It's not a fresh install but an inherited piece of equipment. At some point the root password must have been changed. It looks like I'll have to reinstall Alarmz. I was trying to avoid that but you've confirmed what I thought was the case. I'm not familiar with Alarmz but it will be interesting to learn its unique attributes.

Thanks, Varti. I should have been clearer in my original post. Unfortunately the password is not the default one (root), which is why I can't access root. Without a recovery mode, I'm not sure what else I can do.

I have a SL-C3200 with Arch Linux. I can logon to a user account but I don't have the root passsword. Is there a way to reset the root password? I can't see a Grub menu to allow me to use one of the common methods to do so. Thanks
