Resolution
To resolve this issue, perform the following steps:
- Reboot the appliance.
- At the bottom of the splash screen, in the space provided after "Boot Option," enter the following line
init=/bin/sh
- Press Enter to save and b to boot. The init=/bin/bash statement boots straight into a shell, so no password is required. Running fsck and other maintenance tasks may now be performed.
- Type:
fsck -y /dev/sda1
- Reboot the virtual appliance:
reboot
The system will now boot normally without asking for the root password.
