I have a computer running Debian Jessie, and need to recover my root password. I've been following the instructions on this question, but have run into a snag. After GRUB loads and I've appended single init=/bin/bash to the appropriate line and rebooted, the system appears to lock up - or at least does not accept any input from my keyboard. I don't appear to be at a proper command prompt, so I'm guessing the former is true.

What can I do to troubleshoot this problem?

Oddly enough the problem seems to have stemmed from my keyboard. When I switched to an older, simpler keyboard the command prompt took input as expected. I also removed single per Michael's comment on my question.
