He told me that the UserID should be root and then gave me the password. When I booted up FreeBSD, I entered root as instructed. Unfortunately the next thing that happens is that I get thrown to a command proompt #TEST - rather then a password prompt. I have an urgent need to get into this system and the programmer is oversea and hasn't respond yet. Could somebody please help and email me at kimwaic@deltanet.com. URGENT URGET!!!
