Do you *know* you're using LILO?  the LILO prompt is (iirc) "LILO: " ... 
if you get a pretty boot menu, you're probably using GRUB, which is a 
little different in terms of providing boot-time options.

.:So now that I'm the supreme cheerleader for our little techie
.:neighborhood, I am required by law to display my ineptness with said
.:technologies.  Here's my quandry:
.:
.:What does the lilo prompt look like?  (The real kicker in this mess I'm
.:about to describe is that I'm running Fedora Core 1 (w/ KDE and Gnome),
.:and I'm a complete newbie to Linux.)
.:
.:The reason I ask is because I need to know where to type 'Linux single',
.:followed by 'passwd root', which apparantly is the means to my idiot
.:salvation -- I've locked myself out of root on my own machine.  I wrote
.:down the password in my own human-hashed form, only to discover that what
.:I think the password should be doesn't match what I actually typed in. 
.:Given the variables in the string, there are about 300 different
.:possibilities for it.
.:
.:Any and all assistance is, as ever, greatly appreciated!
