This might work: Right about the time the kernel stops waiting for SCSI devices to settle (during the last fifth or so of boot up if you don't have any SCSI devices), hit CTRL-C several times. If you didn't mark your local TTY as insecure, you should be dropped to a question asking which shell you want to use. Once you are at the command prompt, type "passwd root". Charles Burns Note that I have never dropped to single user mode as is described here other than when my latest kernel decides to panic. I am not certain that these instructions will work for a working system. >From: "Shawn Cole" <tanned7@hotmail.com> >To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> >Subject: How do I change my root password? >Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 02:48:32 -0700 > >Help I forgot my password!!! >What do I do to change the root password when I restart my FreeBSD server? > >Thanks, Shawn > _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
