I say HANGING IS TOO GOOD FOR THE BLOKE!! Let's do it the way the
Apache use to handle traitors!!
Frankly, Dan, I held back discussing my views because it is John's call
to decide what he will do, if anything. Personally, the bad seed John
had the misfortune to hire reflects badly on all professionals. I say
go after his credit... file whatever needs to be file formally, this is
theft after all and then he'll be formally noted as a thief --
nationally. Eventually he will be fit for nothing but washing floors
or dishes.
By the way John,
You didn't read what I wrote carefully. You can change the password
(using the passwd command) to whatever you wish:
# passwd
from within the instructions I provided. Then the root password will
be the password you have changed it to.
Try it, you'll like it.
Sincerely, Derick.

Oh, this is already way into the legal stage! The individual in
question actually claims that they do not remember the password! I
guess it's all a matter of how far we want to take it.
From what I understand, simply retrieving the files is insufficient in
this case. Apparently, there's an application that controls a piece
of our equipment and nobody has a clue what the application is called
or who makes it! The entire Linux installation on this machine is
solely for this one purpose.

Tell the person who is having a hissy fit that you will be sending
the machine out for service by some godless company that will charge
megabucks for the service and that your lawyers will make sure that
the bill goes to them.

Hi John:
Here's the easy way:
Get the install first CD of the YDL install set. Enter that into the
laptop in question, and also have an ethernet cable connected between
the laptop and any device you wish to copy files to. Boot the laptop
so that it boots from the CD, press the C key. When you reach the
Linux boot prompt:
boot:
type in, install rescue. Follow instructions from there; you'll have
all the access you please and won't need any password.
boot: install rescue
Copy what you wish and so on. I know this works as I tried this out
on my own laptop.
Best of luck.... Derick.

Sorry folks, I'm sure this question has been asked and answered a

We have a Mac notebook computer that a previous employee used to use
and he's refusing to give us the admin password to Yellow Dog. Is
there a way to reset this? There is info we need on this machine, so
we can't simply reformat and re-install.
