Lost root Password - OpenServer 6
Hi All,
It seems that someone in my organization had changed the root password on a SCO Openserver 6 box. Apparently, there are no emergency boot disks. I think they were never created because there is no floppy drive on the machine. I've tried to use the Openserver 6 media installations disks as recovery but after a certain point, I get an error that states "incorrect disk partioning has been detected" I tried downloading boot disks from the Caldera website (per instructions at aplawrence) and the latest version I could find was 5.05. At boot time, I can't change the password nor enter single user mode without the root password. Is there anything else I can do to reset the root password. I have access to the machine by 1 user login and I can get to a shell. I can't edit /etc/passwd or shadow files tho'. Thanks in advance. Georgio |
