: Sydney, 21 September 2001
: Greetings,
: I've got/inherited three SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 servers with 'I don'k know the root password(s)!`
: Don't have boot and/or root recovery diskettes. The only thing(s) I have is the original boot
: disk and CD (plus the licenses). I can boot the systems with either the original boot
: diskette, or with my own `generic` boot diskette (has vi, as I don't know to much about ed),
: brek out from the install, mount /dev/root on /mnt. Howewer, these systems had been installed
: with `Traditional security`, so the shadow password file in not in /etc. What can I do to
: recover/create the root passwords?
