It doesnot allow any other user logins too... A wild guess now, because I am not running digital unix, just FreeBSD. Can you bring the system to single user mode somehow? After that, try mounting the filesystems as read-write manually, change the root password thing, umount all filesystems and reboot. I don't know if this is going to be actually of any help, but that's what I would do. At least before paying some money on phone-calls to tech-support and stuff. -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
