English Install/Boot/Login

HI, All

I have a Suse 11.0 Server that has been running for a long time and I have not had to touch it, well I need to get into it today and I forgot the password. So I booted it up with the install disc and got into the rescue mode
but I am not sure how or which system to mount to change the root password I tried sda and sda1 but it errored out with unknown system type

Recover Root Password - openSUSE

thank you for the help

when I mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda /mnt
I get: you must specify the filesystem type

Did you leave out a partition number on purpose?

/dev/sda?

Personally I find it easier to reset the root password by booting into Single user mode.
