I just installed FreeBSD 2.2. Everything seems fine. But Atfter I reboot the system from hard disk I cannot login. I was asked for passward for root which I don't know because I did not set a password for root and I also did not add any user during the installation. I don't like to reinstall the system (It takes me several hours to install everything). Is there anyway to erase the password and get into root? I tried to use "kernek -s" to boot but I cannot edit /etc/passwd with vi. Thank you! Ian >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ian Y.J.
