Hi there I can't log into my machine because i hosed the /etc/group and the /etc/master.passwd files while doing an upgrade. Anywho, i'm looking at the freebsd faq , 10.14. I have forgotten the root password! What do I do?, to try and change the root password. But when i do 'passwd root' i get a message like 'passwd: Unkown user root". Can someone please help me :( Thanks Desmond To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
