I have tried your suggestion and I get the same problem. "incorrect password".
Are you saying you're getting the login error when you try to login in from Windows via smb? If so, this is a completely different problem than the one I gave you a fix for.
I am running version 4.9 with KDE desktop. I am trying to set this machine
up as a simple file server.
Can you log in to KDE?
I get message containing nmbd[187] as I try to log in. Is there a way to disable or edit smb.conf from single user mode? If really thing this might be part of the source of my problem.
I'm not sure, but I don't think your problem is with FreeBSD, but with Samba.
Take a look at some of these docs: http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbpasswd.8.html http://us3.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Samba24Hc13.pdf ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/customers/samba/
Note the following additional information: 1) If your problem is with logging in via samba, you'll probably get better assistance posting your question to the samba mailing lists: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/ 2) If your problem is with samba, you'll most likely need to include your smb.conf file in order to get any decent help.
Cheers Chris

I just started running FreBSD and I was setting up Samba when this
occurred.
Reboot the system by hitting <ctrl>+<alt>+<delete>, while it's booting back up, press space bar when you see the "press <enter> to boot or ..." and before it finishes counting down. (You don't mention which version of FreeBSD you're using, but FreeBSD 5 has a spiffy menu here where you can just select a menu item for single-user mode) At the prompt, enter "boot -s" to boot into single- user mode. When asked for a default shell, just hit <enter> to accept the default. Once you have a shell prompt, enter "fsck -y" and then "mount -a".
Now you're logged in and can execute commands as root. Enter "passwd <user>" to change the password for <user>. If you omit <user>, you'll change the root password.
good luck.
