Oh no! :-) Reboot the system (Ctrl-Alt-Delete will do this cleanly, unless you have explicitly disabled it in your kernel... In which case you may need to take the plunge and hard-reset). Of course, /sbin/reboot would be the other way to do it... But you're not logged in as root, are you? (Are you?) When the boot prompt comes up, boot into single user mode (boot -s), and, when your shell is loaded (denoted by the # prompt), type ``passwd'' (without the quotes, of course) to change root's password. > also, i need instruction on how to download files from > the ftp site, i have no idea how to do this, any > direction would be much apprechiated!!!!!!!! man ftp Virtually yours, - Ryan Thompson -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Systems Administrator, Accounts Phone: +1 (306) 664-1161 SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
