Just a question. Did you tried using the root user name?, if you installed the OS, the first username you use is allways "root" (with out the quotes) the password in your case most be something important to you in order to remember it all the time. if everything fails, try to boot as a single user, at the boot prompt write: boot -s then mount your partitions and edit the password file in order to erase the password for "root". if you donīt know how to mount or edit that password, its time to start reading the handbook in http://www.freebsd.org/handbook Eric De La Cruz Lugo Merida, Yucatan, Mexico The Maya Land. ----- Original Message ----- From: Grover Sonnier <groversonnier@msn.com> To: 'questions@freebsd.org' <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Thursday, November 23, 2000 1:09 AM Subject: User ID and Password > I have forgotten my user name and password and don't know how to get into > the system to make a change.
