Can you log in as root at the console? (This would validate the root passwd). If you've lost the root password, reboot the system, and hit any other key than ENTER when it starts up, then type boot -s to enter single user mode. You automatically are logged in as root, where you can change his password, by using ``passwd''. If you know the root password, open up the file /etc/group in your favorite editor, and make sure your username is listed beside 'wheel'. ...and ahhh, chmodding the /etc/master.passwd file? Personally, I wouldn't recommend this, but if you must, read ``man chmod''. steve > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
