Sorry... typo # mount -u / # mount /usr # passwd root
---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: lost root passwd Date: Sunday 17 April 2005 00:45 From: Benjamin Rossen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Marty I think the problem you are having comes because you must boot your machine in single-user mode to make this work. Then: # mount -u / # mount /usr # passed root You shall then be prompted as follows; Enter new password: <enter password> Enter new password again: <enter password> #^D The Ctrl+D causes the system to contine booting with the new password. You do not need to mount the /usr file separately if you have not given this its own (extended) partition when you formatted your disks. Good luck, Benjamin Rossen ------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
