Hi,
You need to have a user account on the machine to which you know the
name and the password and which belongs to the 'wheel' group.
When you telnet in, log in as that user. Then do:
su
And give it password for root. If you do whoami you will see that you
are root. You can go back to regular user status by typing
exit
HTH,
Roman
