How to reset kali linux password while booting

To reset the Kali Linux password while booting, you can follow these steps to access the root shell and change the password:

1. **Reboot Your System:**

   Start by rebooting your system.

2. **Access GRUB Menu:**

   When the GRUB menu appears (usually you need to press `Esc` or `Shift` key during boot to see it if it doesn't appear automatically), select the Kali Linux option and press `e` to edit the boot parameters.

3. **Edit GRUB Boot Parameters:**

   Find the line that starts with `linux`. At the end of this line, add the following text:

   ```bash

   init=/bin/bash

   ```

   This will make your system boot into a bash shell.

4. **Boot into Single User Mode:**

   Press `Ctrl+X` or `F10` to boot with these parameters. Your system will boot into a single-user mode with a root shell.

5. **Remount the File System:**

   Remount the file system with write permissions by running:

   ```bash

   mount -o remount,rw /

   ```

6. **Reset the Password:**

   Use the `passwd` command to change the password for the user you need. For the root user, the command is:

   ```bash

   passwd

   ```

   Follow the prompts to enter and confirm the new password.

7. **Reboot the System:**

   After resetting the password, reboot the system normally by running:

   ```bash

   exec /sbin/init

   ```

   Alternatively, you can use:

   ```bash

   reboot

   ```

Your system should now boot normally, and you can log in with the new password you set.
