Putting the Subject: and the body together, I conclude that the question is "How do I enter rescue mode when there is no root password set?" One way is to boot with your installation medium. It'll probably offer you some way to "rescue" your installed system. Some menu option, most likely. Another way is to use your boot loader to add "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel parameters. This should give you a root shell on a root file system that's mounted read-only. Do an fsck on the root file system, then remount it read-write, then set the root password, sync, remount it read-only, reboot, and you should be able to enter rescue mode using your newly set password. If any of the file systems are encrypted, then I can't help. I've never dealt with that.

The "Re: Re:" is throwing me off. Is this the original message you are replying to: <https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/09/msg00812.html>? Jeff
