Changing your runlevel at boot time. (aka Grub Method)
The Grub menu is hidden by default
Reboot then press and hold a key until the grub menu appears
Choose your desired kernel and press "a" to modify the kernel arguments.
Simply add a 3 to the line for runlevel 3 or 1 for single user mode and Press "enter". After pressing enter press "b" to boot with the changes you have made. (NOTE: If you are having booting issues you might want to remove "quiet" and "rhgb.")
Log in and do the damage you desire. If you are booting to single user you do not need to login you will simply be presented with a prompt.
Logout, change runlevels or reboot as needed.
