- I have a small problem. Somehow, either someone changed or
- the password file was trashed on our AT&T 386WGS UNIX v3.2.2
- computer system. Only 1 login now works and automatically
- loads and runs a program.
-
- The question: How can I reset the password for root or
- otherwise get around the system password feature?
-
- I don't want to reload the operating system from scratch! There
- are somethings on the drive I cannot replace.
-
- Any ideas?
