Boot into single user mode

    1.If you have a GRUB password configured, type p and enter the password.
    2. Select the version of the kernel that you wish to boot and type e 
for edit. You will be presented with a list of items in the 
configuration file for the title you just selected.
    3.Select the line that starts with kernel and type e to edit the line.
    4.Go to the end of the line and type single as a separate word 
(press the [Spacebar] and then type single). Press [Enter] to exit edit 
mode.
    5. Back at the GRUB screen, type b to boot into single user mode.
