This probablly won't hit the aklug list, since the smtp server used by
this webmail client seems to be black-listed, but this should let you do
so:
start booting the system. when it gets to the point where you can pick
your kernel, you need to add the following option to the kernel line:
init=/bin/bash
this should drop you to a root shell as soon as the _kernel_ finishes
initializing... this means that init does NOT run at all though, so your
root file system will (should?) be mounted read-only.. to fix this run:
mount / -o rw,remount
then edit your fstab, and then remount the filesystem read only (because
it will NOT be cleanly unmounted) by running:
mount / -o ro,remount
then give her the ole three finger salute, and she should be good to go.
