 Bull Escala T series Hi all, I wonder if anyone could help me? I've got a Bull Escala T series box with Aix 4.3.3 on it, or the Bull varient, but have lost the root password. Searching google, I've found a solution that involves going into the maintenance console, and using the maintenance to get at the disk to edit the password file etc.. Problem is that I do now know the password for the maintenance mode - so is there a default one or is it set on install and unique per box? The maintenance mode I'm referring to here is the one you get if you turn the key to the "spanner" then IPL the box. It comes up with a gui interface with one of the options being "system maintenance" or similar. I've pulled out the dasd controller to see if the password was stored on disk, but it's not - my guess is that it's in eeprom. regards, Paul.      |

Hi Paul, You just need to boot off the CD, with the key in service mode. Goto system maintance mount the root filesystems and start a shell. Then just type the passwd command and you will be prompted for roots new password. Enter your new password and Then reboot in normal mode. Regards |
