Hi,
I have a problem with my root password.  I changed the password with
passwd yesterday, wrote the password down and now I can not log into
the system as root.  I keep getting a login incorrect
response.
I know that the password that I am entering is correct.  Other users
on the system can log in OK.
Is there any way to alter the password without logging in as root? ie.
with the fixit disc?
Thanks in advance,
Kim Perkins
