ThankYou in advance.......... 1. Boot into single user mode: boot: -s ^ Enter `-s' here at the boot prompt! 2. Accept /bin/sh as your shell. 3. At the shell prompt, check and mount your filesystems: fsck -y mount -a -t ufs 4. Call the password program to set your new password: passwd 5. Reboot the system.
