We are a small ISP in NW Arkansas, at one of our customers sites we have installed a FreeBSD server as their firewall, www proxy and mail server. As you can see from the attachment below we made a mistake and gave them the root password. Do you have any suggestions on recovering the root password short of re-installing the system. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Darren Farrish -----Original Message----- From: Alan Lantz <alantz@northwesthealth.com> To: 'darren@iso.net' <darren@iso.net> Date: Saturday, February 06, 1999 11:43 AM Subject: HELP!!!! >Darren, > I need your help Monday.
