I appreciate everyone's help on this, I really do. One day I shall repay. I
am about to get RedHat 5.0 here friday and that installation will be fun.

Anyway here is the question, I am in single user mode editing the
/etc/passwd file. I do not see any passwords, only this:

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/ksh

Where or how do I delete the password?

. I tried to delete the x but that did not help. I know I am stupid and I
was just thrown into this, I just ordered 5.0 and all the manuals so I hope
to get better.
