AFAIK there is no default root password. I checked the default files and didn't find any. It's blank. ----- # $FreeBSD: /repoman/r/ncvs/src/etc/master.passwd,v 1.39 2004/08/01 21:33:47 markm Exp $ # root::0:0::0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/csh .. ----- hmmm. Does hitting <Enter> without entering a password work ?! Sorry I really don't know. -- Kind regards Abu Khaled _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
