Note: you won't have SSH access in Single-User Mode. You need to be at the console.
Get into Single-User Mode:
- At the GRUB splash screen at boot time, press any key to enter the GRUB interactive menu.
- Select the version of the kernel that you wish to boot and type 'a' to append the line.
- 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 and boot into Single User Mode
Another way, if you are already booted to a Linux command prompt:
- telinit 1
