 After failed seach, need help with netra root password recovery I have 2 netras running sunos 5.8 I bought before the "dot com" bubble burst in 2001. I set up root passwords the day I brought them home. I have since moved and after letting them collect dust for 4 years I am trying to get them back in service. I have physical console access and the "ok" and "lom" prompts available to me. The x1 I have has no cdrom attachment capabilities. So a boot from cd is not possible. Any answers would be much appreciated. I do not wish to purchase a SUN support contract just to recover these systems. Regards, NJDart      |

Same process after that for doing password recovery as a CD boot is. You could potentially take off the cover, hook up an IDE CD-ROM drive to one of the IDE buses and boot from there too, but netbooting is easy enough to setup if you have another Solaris system and media (ie. need media for CD boot too) around. |

I set up root passwords the day I brought them home. And subsequently lost/forgot the root passwords. If they're set up to listen to a NIS server, you can always add in a semi-bogus account, with UID=0. Login with that, and *poof* you are root. (of course, that requires that they're configured to listen for NIS server, and that you can provide one that you control) James -- Consulting Minister for Consultants, DNRC I can please only one person per day.
