    Either root and the password you entered for it or anyof the usernames you created during install and their passwords.
    You can use any partitioning utility to delete its partitions. Deleting boot manager means installing a new one, so in 9x/ME use fdisk /mbr, in NT log to recovery console and type fixmbr.

    I think you deleted Linux too easily, though. There's nothing to be afraid of in it ;)

    In order,

    -The one you should have entered during installation. I think that's optional but you MUST have entered a root password so log in as root and enter the password you put in.

    -The command to remove lilo is

    /sbin/lilo -u

    Had a little more hands-on experience...

    Mictlantecuhtli,
    If I ran fdisk /mbr, will 1) the GRUB stop coming up and 2) my Windows partition be able to boot and 3) everything becomes intact as if I had never installed RedHat?

    OS: Windows 98SE, (Linux RedHat 8.0 [deleted])
    HDD: Seagate ST320410A 20gb; Quantum Fireball 6.4gb

    I can't tell for sure what will happen. Computers are different, situations are different, ..
    I've used that command many times though and I've never had problems with it in a situation like this.
