change it through single usermode even though i am not get
a password, then what is the other procedure to give a root
password?

Answer Posted / sampath

It will be easy to recover the root password using single
user mode, but single user mode is secured by grub password.
so that it will restrict the users by logging to the single
user mode.

we can unmake the entry in the grub.conf file by entering
the rescue mode.
