Hi,

I have just spent over the last two years developing a unique classified ads 
service which was online and had Free BSD as the security on it. We ended up 
with a very aggressive and belligerent programmer who left us but left us some 
nasty little bugs behind to really screw us up.. who we now can't find. 

I need to know how to change or eliminate a root password. 

As I still have our "test server" in my possession is there any way to actually 
remove the folder that the passwords are held in.....the reason I ask this is 
that when we actually changed the password on our "production server" it 
released some sort of worm that totally crashed and eliminated our online site, 
and all our data we have spent two years developing. It also started trying to 
access other sites which we only found out about this when our site crashed and 
we got compalints our from our ISP that our server was trying to agressively 
access other servers out there on the net.

The Only saving grace is that we had it all backed up on our test server but it 
has the same problem...I expect...I believe that he has probably left us the 
same worm in our test server....the unfortunate thing is that because we do not 
know the root password we are worried that if we try to crack or eliminate it 
the same thing may happen...and then we are automatically out of business.

Is there any way around this....I can prove I am the owner of the site...the 
URL and the server and any other information you may need if necessary....


I really need help as this is 2/12 years work as it stands gone.

Thanks
God Bless
Freddy
