- Ok...this is embaressing...we forgot the root password on a seldom used
- SCO UNIX box. We're trying to figure out how to do a single-user mode
- boot so that the root password is not required to login. SCO wants $100
- to tell us the answer, so we thought maybe some kind soul may enlighten
- us on the net. Otherwise, we'll have to do a re-install and that won't
- be much fun.

- Thanks ahead of time.
