Time to ask you to provide more information about your system by running "./getinfo.sh" and showing us the output file.

Chances are that your system is no longer true CentOS. The elastix pages have a section about 'Converting from a CentOS system' (in Downloads/Extra), even though it claims to be CentOS-based itself.
So any advice you are given here may not be applicable. |

Well that's either indicative of the problem or, you have /var as a separate filesystem and it isn't mounted. Check /etc/fstab for a line that would mount /var and if it exists, mount that on /mnt/sysimage/var (or where ever the correct location is).

Look in the log files in /var/log to see if any of them give a clue about what the real cause of the problem is.

It has to do with getting to single user mode not about resetting the password.

Is this via SSH? Can you log on at the console? As root if not your user?
If nobody has a better idea, I think you'll have to drop to init 1 to get a look at the logs. |
