Single User Mode
Restart Kali
While Kali is booting up, hit spacebar
Hover over Kali GNU/Linux
Push 'E'
Maybe push shift, I was able to scroll around without it but the teacher said push it so I did
Scroll down to the line that says linux
Scroll to the end of that line
Add 'single init=\bin\bash' at the end, then hit ctrl+x
Once it boots up, mount the disk
mount -rw -o remount /
Then you can change the password using 'passwd'
After setting root password, use the following commands
sync umount /
