You work as a Linux technician for Tech Perfect Inc. You have lost the password of the root. You want to provide a new password. Which of the following steps will you take to accomplish the task?

The root password can always be reset through recovery methods such as single-user mode or a live boot environment - it is never permanently irrecoverable.

The correct command syntax is lowercase 'passwd root'; however, even with correct syntax, running this command requires an authenticated root session, which is unavailable when the root password is lost.

Run level 0 is the halt or shutdown state - booting to run level 0 powers off the system immediately and does not provide a shell for password recovery.

Rebooting into run level 1 starts Linux in single-user mode, which drops to a root shell without prompting for a password. From this shell, the administrator can execute the 'passwd' command to set a new root password and then reboot into the normal multi-user run level.
