You will need to gain console access or get someone there to gain console access. Then login as root and add that non-root account to the wheel group (or have the _trusted_ local person do it). Have the local person log out and you can then immediately log in as the non-root, su to root, check if anyone else is connected and then change the root password. ////jerry > > Thanks for any help/advice. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
