Reset root password in Debian

Today I’ve faced embarrassing situation, I’ve forgot my root password to my Debian VM. I know this is lame. But happened, so I’ve started looking for solution and after viewing few more or less helpful websites I’ve compiled my own solution. To reset root password on Debian (Lenny) do following: During start of PC when there is your boot manager displayed press “e”. Move arrow on the keyboard to highlight “kernel”.
