Hi, I have just spent over the last two years developing a unique classified = ads service which was online and had Free BSD as the security on it. We = ended up with a very aggressive and belligerent programmer who left us = but left us some nasty little bugs behind to really screw us up.. who we = now can't find.=20 I need to know how to change or eliminate a root password.=20 As I still have our "test server" in my possession is there any way to = actually remove the folder that the passwords are held in.....the reason = I ask this is that when we actually changed the password on our = "production server" it released some sort of worm that totally crashed = and eliminated our online site, and all our data we have spent two years = developing. It also started trying to access other sites which we only = found out about this when our site crashed and we got compalints our = from our ISP that our server was trying to agressively access other = servers out there on the net. The Only saving grace is that we had it all backed up on our test server = but it has the same problem...I expect...I believe that he has probably = left us the same worm in our test server....the unfortunate thing is = that because we do not know the root password we are worried that if we = try to crack or eliminate it the same thing may happen...and then we are = automatically out of business. Is there any way around this....I can prove I am the owner of the = site...the URL and the server and any other information you may need if = necessary.... I really need help as this is 2/12 years work as it stands gone. Thanks God Bless Freddy
