I needed to make my swap partition bigger, so I backed everything up on tape (ft0) and reinstalled the new partitions, then the bindist. I didn't add any passwords or users. Then I restored all my old files (everything from / down) from tape. Unfortunately, now I can't log in. My old passwords (for both root and user) result in "Login incorrect" errors. How can I get back into my system? Or, alternatively, what's the correct way to restore my system from tape? Thanks if you can help. Dale Sanford <dale@northcoast.com>
