Craig "Those who do not learn from History, are doomed to repeat it". Author unknown === Do you remember root's password? If so, log in as root and simply create a new password for "user". I believe root can change a user's password w/o using the old one. If not, root can create a new user for you. No need to reinstall. If you don't remember root's password, try lgging in as a single user ["linux 1" w/o quotes at the boot prompt]. You might be able to change the password there, but perhaps a guru can be of more assistance at this point ;o) HTH, Mike "Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me." --Winston Churchill Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com.
