Best would be to set the machine in single user mode, either by booting using 'boot -s' or using 'shutdown now'. Please don't do this if you don't have physical access to console!!!! If you're in single user mode, choose a shell you want to use. /bin/sh is a good choice. After that, simply reset your password using passwd(1). > I would appreciate any help on this.
