Forgotten FreeBSD login password
LockedI have recently taken on a job at a local church as their IT Consultant.
I went to logon to their FreeBSD web server today to make some changes to the website only to be told that they had forgot the password for this machine.
I tried a few options using “root” as the user name and a number of passwords they thought it may be. None however worked.
Is there anyway to reset the login password or bypass it so I can create another user? Also am I correct in saying that the “administrator” account on a FreeBSD machine is “root” the same as a Linux (RedHat, Mandrake) machine? as I have not used a FreeBSD machine before.Thanks for your help in advance.
