I made an error in the /etc/rc.conf file.  I quote character was not inserted after the hostname parameter.  Now, the machine stops when parsing the file and I can only get to a '#' prompt.  I can't get prompted for login and I do not have enough rights to fix the file.  Can I get procedure to get enough rights to put the quote character in?  Hopefully, I won't have to reinstall the OS.  Thanks,

Tom Vollmer
