I installed a freebsd box version 4.2 some way back in May. Since then i haven't come to this box. i have forgotten the root password. My little knowledge of using the CDrom to recover it has failed. I'm afraid to do a re-installation since i have done a lot of configurations on this box. I don't know what to do now. I would appreciate some help from anyone.
