Hi All,
Thanks for the reply. But i still have a problem.
After booting to single-user, i entered for PATH.
Now when i typed "passwd", the response would be "passwd: not found".
I don't know what is happening.

Regards,
Agbenya.

Boot single-user:

boot: /kernel -s
[boot messages]
[prompt on shell path - press enter]
# passwd
[change the password]
# ^D (CTRL-D)
Have fun and don't forget the password again. :)
