Binary package hint: friendly-recovery
You can gain access to root even when you set a root password when friendly-recovery.
Steps to reproduce
1) Install Ubuntu Hardy RC1
2) Set a password for root
$ sudo passwd
3) Reboot into the recovery mode
4) Choose "Drop to root shell prompt"
In Gutsy (and all other prior Ubuntu releases) you had to enter the root-pw to get access to the root shell. Is this intentionally? If yes. Many documentations explain setting a password for root prevents access to the root account via the recovery mode. I think this change has to be doumented somewhere.
