I tried using syslogd Really? Wasn't one of the last steps of the installation a question about setting the root password? Do you remember? Try username=root and whatever password you gave the setup program. Or... When it says booting...waiting 10 seconds or press any key?? How about you press Enter and type: boot -s which will boot you into single user mode, at which time you can set the root password again with: passwd and voila! -Gerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
