FreeBSD/i386 >Description: I received one box alongwith full configuration for our ISP setup, but rightnow our director forget "root" password. FAQ crack root password is not working. I may get "Disk1s2a:>" prompt but here only following commands are permitable: reboot, heap, bcachestat, boot, autoboot, help/?, shot, set, unset, more, lsdev, ls, load/unload, lsmod, pnpscan Though I can see various directories through "ls" & files also. but unable to execute those commands. I am using SCO Unix & Linux since many years, but FreeBSD is first experience. I would be very thankful to you to guide me. I may provide you plain text of root password which is lying in master.passwd shadow file. Awaiting propmpt reply. Regards (NASIR MAHMOOD) System Manager, Fibre Net, Lahore - Pakistan.
