no, I forgot: Did you boot into linux single or linux rescue now? You said
that both work, but which one are you using right now?

the passwd command should be in /usr/bin/passwd. Try using the complete path
of this command, i.e. type "/usr/bin/passwd" and see what you get. nick

nope- just tried.
BTW- this is not something wrong with just this system. Seems a lot of the
systems locked up and had some weird behavior- I'm thinking power surge or
something...
J
on bash#, can you run the command "passwd"?

OK- I can do both linux single and linux rescue. I can see the file
/etc/passwd, but can't edit it
vi won't run.
I get bash#
then I try to run vi and get a
sh: vi: command not found
I've been up all nioght at this and need to at the very least get some files
off this computer before I go home.
that's what:
lilo: linux single
is designed to fix. Boot into single user, then use vi to edit
/etc/passwd (or whatever the system uses) and remove the root
password. Then use passwd to set a new one.

That's the problem...he can't log in as root...somehow, the root password
got munged.

Boot from your Linux install CD, and at the initial menu, type "linux
rescue"...this should get you to a point where you can A) run fsck on at
least your root partition, if not all of them and B) mount your root
partition and edit /etc/passwd to clear out your root password.

If it is asking for your password, it has rebooted.

ok- now I'm in trouble.
The linux server crashed and will not reboot. Ststem starts up, then kickes
me .out to a shell (?) says there is a problem and asks for my password,
which like my earlier email stated, stopped working as of this morning. No
one changed anything to make this happen. So n
