Do you want to boot directly to the desktop without logging in as a user with a password?
Do you want to be able to use the bash shell in a terminal without using a password, that is, to have immediate root privileges in a terminal?
Do you wish to be able to log in without using the assigned login and password, that is, bypassing them with the ability to change the user and root password?
What distribution are you using and what exactly do you want to do?

But my problem is i dont have the password to access linux bash and im also not able to login as root because of the login screen. I need to be able to get a root login but before i can i first need to reset the root password and without using a cdrom to boot from. So if you could give me a few ideas i would realy appreciate it.
