Ben, I have a small question also regarding password issue... What if I have single user mode also protected with root password? So without root password I am unable to use single user mode.. Will Fixit disk work? Any solutions for that? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Weaver [mailto:sid67@tranquility.net] Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2000 4:39 PM To: Ing. Urias Manuel Coronel Urias Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Help That's a pretty easy fix: Reboot the server into single user mode. Once you get to a command prompt, you can do a mount -a to mount everything in your /etc/fstab. Then do a passwd to change the password for root. Do a ^D and it will boot into multi-user mode. -Ben On Tue, Nov 14, 2000 at 11:29:43AM -0700, Ing.
