After trying to install some graphic drivers in openSUSE 10.3 suddenly
when I tried to do an on line update I got a message that it was
incorrect password. I'm absolutely sure it was not. I had to reinstall.
Anyone else who experienced this problem.

I had this type of pb with 10.2 :
When starting Yast, I was asked for the root passwd and it was always
recused (I checked on kwrite if what I was typing in the password
field was really the correct passwd)
I had to open a console, then su (the _very same_ password was then
accepted), then from this root console I could start Yast
