How to boot Oracle VM (guest) in Single user mode in OVM

Hello,

I am facing an issue in Oracle VM where it is stuck while performing fsck and asking for a root password (Control D issue) which I don't have. So I am trying to boot Oracle VM in OVS by adding a parameter extra = 'single' in vm.cfg. However, while starting the VM using xm create command, the vm is not booting in single user mode and landing to same fsck page and asking to Enter root password to troubleshoot the issue.

The intention here is to recover root password and edit fstab file and make changes to resolve the issue. Any help would be much appreciated.
