It depends what you mean by that.

  1. If you want to shut down all GUI instances and go down to a (root) command line prompt, just do "sudo telinit 1"
  2. If you want to have your machine boot into command-line (CML), follow the same procedure as here: Lost password in CentOS - #2 by triantares
  3. On a running machine just hit "Ctrl+Alt+F1" to get into a terminal, log in with your usual user credentilas and go about your business.
    Hit "Ctrl+Alt+F7" to get back into the GUI. :innocent:
