Hello Everyone,
I've made something VERY stupid. I was trying to install the FreeNX server and, since it wasn't authorizing the connection, I tryed to use, as it explains in the installation, the usermod as stated.
The only problem is that I didn't read the documentation and, instead of putting the encrypted password in the command line, I put the normal password.
Is there ANY way to discover now the password that encrypted would give me the non-encrypted password?
This will make things easier to understand the problem.
The stupid command was this one:
usermod -p rafaelloikju root
So, what I need is:
encrypted(string) = rafaelloikju
What's the value of STRING?
Can anyone recover this password? I don't even have access to my linux box now, as obvious.
I really thank everyone for the help.

I am sorry for the duplicate, but I didn't know in which I should post.
Apart from that, does anyone knows if there is a solution to the problem?
