M20 running Junos5.7 and we've attempted to follow the password recovery procedure from single user but are getting disk read errors when invoking /usr/libexec/ui/recovery-mode; the fsck to repair these eventually fails.
The issue is that `/usr/libexec/ui/recovery-mode` needs to run fsck, the fsck fails, and the CLI from which you can set the root password is never invoked. We're attempting to unpack and edit the configuration files directly because password data is not handled in the traditional UNIX way. Ie., there is no `passwd` command or /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow Please advise. ~.~ Best regards, Larry E. Stites Northern California Networks, Inc.
