Can't login as root after system crash Message-ID: <1992Oct31.114143.9698@uni-paderborn.de> Sender: news@uni-paderborn.de (News Uni-Paderborn) Nntp-Posting-Host: ktp_serv Organization: Uni-GH Paderborn X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6] Date: Sat, 31 Oct 1992 11:41:43 GMT Lines: 12 Hi there, I have a problem with 386bsd. I can't login as "root" after a system crash. The system requests after rebooting a root password! Usually i don't need a password to login as root. I've tried anything but I still can't get in. Any ideas ? Can i use the "fixdisk" to recover the system ? If yes, how can i do that ? Is a new installation the unique solution ? I hope not ! :( Thanks in advance, Lam.
