During the install you would have been asked to give a "root" password. Login as "root" & give that password. You can then create additional user accounts by running "adduser" If you have forgotten the password the "easiest" solution is a reinstall (taking care not to lose the root password again). There is a "back door" solution but sounds like it might be too complicated to explain. ----- Original Message ----- From: "JSMolinaro" <JSMolinaro@hotmail.com> To: <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2001 10:36 AM Subject: login > I am having a problem logging in.
