The admin password is lost? Reboot in Maintenance mode
1) Select "SecurePlatform with Application Intelligence [Maintenance Mode]" at the boot-loader screen, after SecurePlatform reboots. 2) Enter Expert password. The Maintenance Mode boot option in SecurePlatform is known on UNIX systems as "single-user mode". In this mode, SecurePlatform boots to runlevel 1. The local file systems will be mounted, but the network will not be activated. The SecurePlatform Administrator can have an usable system-maintenance shell. In Maintenance mode, the Administrator password can be reset as follows: 1) At the bash shell prompt, type "passwd <administrator name>": sh-2.05#passwd newadmin (The name 'newadmin' is an example). Changing password for user newadmin New UNIX password: <enter new password> Retype new UNIX password: <type new password again> The message "passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully" appears. 2) After the new Administrator password is reset, reboot the SecurePlatform machine (as follows), and log in to Standard mode using the new password: sh-2.05#reboot 3) When the boot-loader menu appears, select the default option. 4) Enter Administrator name and new password to log in to Standard mode.

I think you can interrupt the Linux boot process - from what I can tell on my SPLAT box, it uses grub as a boot loader. Hit E to edit the boot options, and try appending "single" to the end of the "kernel /vmlinuz ...." line. If SPLAT works like normal Linux in this regard, you should get a shell prompt as the root ("Expert") user, at which point you should be able to use "passwd" to reset it. If this doesn't work, get something like a Knoppix or Linuxcare bootable CD, and get it to find and mount the / filesystem. Google "linux root password recovery" for the details of what to do next. -- Jameel Akari ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================= ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================================================
