Dear Sirs,
There is a lot of information on how to restore a lost root password, but I
need just to change root password. I need to protect the system from the
previous user. I have FreeBSD 4. I do a following thing:
type /usr
then
# passwd

Changing local password for root.
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: updating the database...
passwd: done

after this dialog when I am asked to enter password for Charlie&root nothing
has changed.
I suppose I don't have to change a local password but some other. How to do
it?
Thank you in advance
