Hi,
A valuable keyword is boot into single user. Or have someone mount your root (/) on another box and manually erase the pwd in /etc/passwd or shadow.

BTW, all my work are locked on encrypted filesystem and i lost the pwd too ... well YEAHH SHHHHH***T happens Smilie

NAME
sia_make_entity_pwd - Make entity password - SIA (Security Integration Architecture) LIBRARY
Standard C library (libc.so and libc.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <siad.h> #include <signal.h> #include <setjmp.h> int sia_make_entity_pwd( struct passwd *pwd, SIAENTITY *entity); PARAMETERS
entity The entity parameter points to the SIAENTITY structure that will have its pwd data updated. The values in the SIAENTITY struc- ture are changed by this routine. pwd The pwd parameter points to the passwd structure that will have its data duplicated by the pwd field of the entity structure. DESCRIPTION
The sia_make_entity_pwd() routine fills in the pwd field of the entity structure, using malloc() to ensure that the copied data is not overwritten by subsequent calls to getpwent(). RETURN VALUES
The sia_make_entity_pwd() routine returns SIASUCCESS or SIAFAIL. ERRORS
The errno value is not (normally) set explicitly by sia_* routines. The errno values are those returned from the dynamic loader interface, from dependent (siad_*) routines, or from malloc. Possible errors include resource constraints (no memory) and various authentication failures. FILES
