Hi,

The entry for the console of my system in the eyetceyttys file says

console none unknown off insecure

Can I change the root password by using the -s option at the boot prompt or
should I reinstall FreeBSD?

The guy who forgot his root password   -Lpp

P.S. If I can't use the -s option, is there an other solution other than
reinstall?
