>Environment:
Root password is missing, so impossible.
FreeBSD/i386
>Description:
I received one box alongwith full configuration for our ISP setup, but rightnow our director forget "root" password. FAQ crack root password is not working.

I may get "Disk1s2a:>" prompt but here only following commands  are permitable:

reboot, heap, bcachestat, boot, autoboot, help/?, shot, set, unset, more, lsdev, ls, load/unload, lsmod, pnpscan

Though I can see various directories through "ls" & files also. but unable to execute those commands.

I am using SCO Unix & Linux since many years, but FreeBSD is first experience.

I would be very thankful to you to guide me.
I may provide you plain text of root password which is lying in
master.passwd shadow file.

Awaiting propmpt reply.

Regards
