My friend managed to forget his root password somehow :) Single user mode is also password protected. The system does not have floppy or CD-ROM drive, it can be accessed directly or via network, he only can login via guest account.(Telnet, FTP is working). Does anyone has any Idea how he can get root password recovered? I just do not have any clues how to do that. Thanks. P.S.This really hilarious :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
