recovering superuser account
try booting you machine is single user mode
Then edit the /etc/passwd file to remove the password entry of root ( make it null ) then the password shall be reset to just an enter key then reset the password to what u want. Another way of doing it is to boot from the CD, mount the file system that has your root under /mnt directory and then edit the password file. hope it helps. what unix are u using ? Milind. |
