Your post is so short, and without any description of what you were doing, or any background to set the stage. So I am taking a shot in the dark here. You just installed FBSD and on the first boot of the system you are presented with the login prompt, and you are clueless about what it means. All UNIX like systems have an master, or god like user login account which has unlimited powers on the system. This account is called root. During the install one of the questions you answered was to assign an password to the root account. After booting your system when the login prompt is displayed enter the word root and hit enter, then enter the password you assigned during the install and you are in the system as the god of the box. You really should read the online FBSD handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of BangC412@aol.com Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2003 11:45 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: live cd login did i miss something or what ? i never saw anything about a password till boot was done (well almost done ) then i'm stopped cold ' not knowing the login name or password. what gives? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
