How to Boot the KVM/net in Single User Mode

The KVM/net has a single user mode that is used when:

1.The name or password of the user with root privileges is lost or forgotten.

2.When an upgrade or downgrade process does not work properly and the system turns unstable.

3.When a configuration change leaves the KVM/net inoperative or unstable.

Note: You cannot perform this process using Telnet or other remote connection protocols.
