Hello, you can boot the Proventia using some rescue CD. I used this one: http://www.sysresccd.org/
Then just mount the filesystem with /etc directory. According to the /etc/fstab: --- /dev/sda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sda3 /rboot ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sda6 /cache ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sda7 /restore ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sda8 /backup ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0 --- do for example: mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/mnt1 Using vi editor erase root's password from /mnt/mnt1/etc/passwd or /mnt/mnt1/etc/shadow so it will look like: root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash or root::12696:0:99999:7::: Reboot the box. Login using empty password and then set root's and Admin's password to whatever you want.
