Hi All,
Thanks for the help. I'm now smiling.
I don't think i'll forget the passwd again.

To recover root follow the following steps:

1. Boot into single user mode.
2. Do fsck
3. mount -a
4. /stand/sysinstall
5. go to "do post configuration"
6. "  "  change root passwd
7. reboot

and that's it

Subject: Recovery of  root password

Hi All,
Please i need help.
we installed a freebsd box version 4.2 some way back in May.
We haven't used it since then.
Moreover we installed a lot of packages on it.
I'm afraid we don't want to go over the whole process of
re-installation.
we have forgotten the root password.
I tried using the CDROM to recover it but to no avail.
I don't what i'm doing wrong.
Any help please?

Regards,
Agbenya Adotey.
