Just log in as 'root' with no password. after logging in give root a password by typeing: passwd and follow the instructions (if you care to). You should also create a new user (adduser) with password and log in as that in the future. use root only for administrative task (which you can access with 'su' and give roots password - be very afraid) On 18 Jan 1997, George Hademenos wrote: > Dear Sirs, > I just installed the CDrom version of FreeBSD 2.1.5 and it boots up with a > login /password sequence....i did not see a setup entry during installation of <snip> keith keithl@gil.net ------------------------------------------------------ Character is what you are in the dark - John Warfin ------------------------------------------------------
