I don't follow you. During the Solaris installation you pick a root password and have to enter it twice. We have no idea what you picked. If someone did the installation, we still have no idea what he or she picked. Smilie

see file /var/dt/Xerrors for details

password : jasmine

i then get to last login: thu 6 16:57:17 on console (i would rather a gui)
INTERNET login : root login / dev/console
(i then get a hash symbol here)

you are now in the system.

if your prompt is:
#

then you are root. from here... you can do whatever you like. if you need help with a windowing environment, look at X window system (x11). unfortunately, i don't use the gui so i can't help you much there.

how to i for instance set it up as a file server with in the root? or even get the x11 working from the root?
