Hello
Well, I need some advice for a classic problem... I am now unable to get access to one of my computers, as I forgot my password (root account). I still have a basic user password, but - no luck - it has expired. In fact, I am trapped out of my box ;-) I have some data I need to get back, and I must find a way. Of course, I have physical access. Getting the hard disk to another machine in order to recover data before a reinstallation is an option, but for different reasons I prefer to avoid it (SCSI disk on the locked box, no SCSI support in the one I use now, which is quite full in terms of alim usage). Is there a way to get back my password ? I mean, maybe some brute force utility ? I think I can get the password file with a floppy (after booting on CD). The locked box is Mdk 9, with I think the most paranoid security level. Any advice for the stupidest man on Earth ? TIA and regards, FT -- [INSERT FEELING HERE]
