Synopsis: The guy who set up my mail server changed the password. Can I find it? State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: sheldonh State-Changed-When: Tue Sep 7 06:55:09 PDT 1999 State-Changed-Why: This isn't really what the PR database is for. What you need to do is send e-mail to questions@freebsd.org, explaining what version of FreeBSD you are running. However, I can tell you that if you're running 3.2-RELEASE or later, you can press spacebar at the pre-boot countdown, which will take you to a prompt at which you can type ``boot -s'' without the quotes and press enter. This will drop you into single-user mode. Once in single-user mode, you can do ``mount -a'', again without the quotes, and then change root's password with the command ``passwd''. If that doesn't help you, see my first paragraph. :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
