Intel Based Solaris
Hello all mentor.
I am a new in this furom and also just self studying unix environment.
I have installed intel solaris 9 in my laptop and i have forgotten the root password nor maybe the numlock or capslock of the keyboard was enabled
during I enter the password installation process.
my question is:
1. How could I recover the root password
2. hope you can give me the steps on recovering the root password
i meant a detailed on what should i do first.
thanks,
hoping that you will accept my concern

Hi,
I have a problem when running some tests.
I unplug one power cable from the server.
No message is sent to/var/adm/messages
On the ILOM GUI, it shows power state deasserted.
Anyone knows how to forward this message to the OS, perhaps using the alert management settings? IPMI,snmp?... (1 Reply)

vipw
vipw(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands vipw(1B) NAME
vipw - edit the password file SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/vipw DESCRIPTION
vipw edits the password file while setting the appropriate locks, and does any necessary processing after the password file is unlocked. If the password file is already being edited, then you will be told to try again later. The vi(1) editor will be used unless the environment variable VISUAL or EDITOR indicates an alternate editor. vipw performs a number of consistency checks on the password entry for root, and will not allow a password file with a "mangled" root entry to be installed. It also checks the /etc/shells file to verify the login shell for root. FILES
