Hi All,
I've got a Sun SPARC running Mandrake7.1 (Hydrogen) and I can't get root
access to the machine! When I installed it I set root to a known password.
However, the installer said that 9 chars weren't enough so I added a 10th.
There were no complaints from the installer when I re-entered the password
so I assumed that it was ok. How can I reset the password? I can't use a
rescue disk as there's no floppy on the system. Or am I screwed and do I
need to re-install?
