+The system boots and presents you with a prompt: ''switch_root:/# _''. We need to chroot to the filesystem on which the ''/etc/shadow'' file is present.
+  * Do so by: ''chroot /sysroot'' your prompt changes to ''sh-4.2# _''
+  * Change the root password ''passwd root'' and enter your new password.
+Now we need to continue the boot proces.
+  * Do so by exiting the chroot shell ''exit'' and then the rescue shell ''exit''.
+The boot process continues and you are presented by the regular login prompt.\\
+However, we forced the system to boot in SELinux permissive mode because we needed to alter the shadow password file. We need to correct this:
+  * Log in (with your new password)
+  * Restore the SELinux context of the shadow password file: ''restorecon /etc/shadow''
+  * Set SELinux to enforcing again : ''setenforce 1''
+Done.
