Hi, When my I received my server, the automatic login loaded all the process up to the Login: All I had to do was to put 'root' at the login and no password was ask. Obviouslly, for security reason, one of the first thing I did is to give a password to 'root'. It work find for 2 days. After I did a complete shut down of the system, with the instruction 'shutdown', the server does not recognize the password anymore. I'm completely locked out! Here's what it's look like: Login: root <enter> s/key 98 fr82189 Password: <enter> (turning echo on) Password: acct25 <enter> Login incorrect Is there a procedure where I could give a new password or recover the old? Thank you -- Michel N. Nadeau Agence de Cooperation Culturelle et Technique (ACCT) 13, Quai Andre-Citroen 75015 - PARIS (FRANCE) Telephone: 44.37.32.82 FAX: 44.37.32.42 e-mail: mnadeau@worldnet.net
