On my screen I see:

Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 proxmox tty1

proxmox login:

I try to log in as root, but I have forgotten the password. How can I reset the root password? Other suggestions on this forum did not work. Maybe the details of the suggestions were not correct. I have tried editing "grub" during bootup. And I have tried booting up on Proxmox 1.3 iso. Neither method as mentioned in this forum provided me with correct details to successfully reset my root password. Help, please.
