Operating Systems Linux Debian Lost Password to Debian on PS3. Need help or better documentation for recreating a live-cd Post 302635801 by Azrael on Sunday 6th of May 2012 10:01:01 AM

This is true with GRUB. However, the PS3 requires Petitboot to boot, whether installed or live. I tried "init=/bin/bash" with Petitboot but did not experience the same results. I tried a couple variations of that trick, but perhaps a different syntax would've worked.

NAME
password-gorilla -- a password manager SYNOPSIS
password-gorilla DESCRIPTION
The Password Gorilla helps you manage your logins. It stores all your user names and passwords, along with login information and other notes, in a securely encrypted file. A single "master password" is used to protect the file. This way, you only need to remember the single master password, instead of the many logins that you use. If you want to log in to a service or Web site, the Password Gorilla copies your user name and password to the clipboard, so that you can easily paste it into your Web browser or other application. Because the password does not appear on the screen, Password Gorilla is safe to use in the presence of others. The convenience of Password Gorilla allows you to choose different, non-intuitive passwords for each service. An integrated random password generator can provide one-time passwords, tunable to various services' policies. FILES
The program creates a configuration file .gorillarc in the homedirectory of the user. REPORTING BUGS
