When i lose my root passwd, i boot the machine in Single User mode (Motorola type a key when booting, you ???) then edit /etc/passwd and remove the second field so you get root::0:1:blah blah:/:ksh or something like that. The important thing is the two adjecent colons after the word root. Viel Gluck – For Sale: one state (CT) Cheap!
