I tried to change it by going to single user mode and edit /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd. Althought I was able to do that, I couldn't log in as a superuser without a password entry. I wander if there is another file which has too be editied as well? I appreciate any help in this matter with many thanks Babak -- __/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/__/ Babak Mohajerin, Technologist | voice: +61 7 8641401 _--_|\ __/ Signal Processing Research Centre | Fax: +61 7 8641516 / \ __/ Sch.
