If not does anyone know of a way to reset the - password from the console. Depending upon the OS version and the settings, you should be able to boot the system to single user mode, and reset the password. I'm a bit out of practice, but if you ``boot isl'', and then enter `/hp-ux -is' (for 9.0x) or `/stand/vmunix -is' (for 10.20), you should be get a single user prompt, without having to enter a password (later OS versions may require the root password to enter single user mode.) - My only other idea is to find a diff scsi card that I can put - into my other linux box, and try to mount the root partions, and edit the - password file. That probably won't work, as the filesystem used by HP-UX is just enough different that Linux won't be able to mount it.. If it's a 10.20 or later system, running LVM, Linux _realy_ won't know what to do with it.. -- Eric Schnoebelen eric@cirr.com http://www.cirr.com Have you ever noticed that the people who are always trying to tell you, "There's a time for work and a time for play," never find the time for play.
