[leaf-user] lost root password
I just know that people out there will be laughing! My root password no longer works. I am running leaf bering. Is there anyway to restore or change it?

I tried lost root password before posting and didn't find much, but should've tried a few more alternatives. No problem, glad to help. Not surprising you didn't find it, I doubt I would have if I hadn't remembered seeing the original post. The sourceforge mailing list search leaves a lot to be desired.

-Original Message- From: Jeff Newmiller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2002 17:23 To: Peter Nosko Charles Steinkuehler contends that windows sometimes screws up fat disks when it writes to them. Also, disks do die, though I am not sure how old the floppy in question is. I have actually given up on floppies because of dust problems... I use flashdisks or hard drives. Not really. Depends on the history of use and abuse of the disk in question as to where it happend, but it sounds like it is hosed at this point. Get off it what you can by mounting as 1680 in Linux, and start a fresh disk. pn] Sure enough, the diskette has problems. I created a new one via Charles' .exe and it dd'ed just fine using 1680. All the files from the original disk copied fine on a Windows box, so maybe I didn't lose anything (other than the root password). THANKS! I'll try your procedure tomorrow (later today).
