root password reset Solaris 10
2007-12-25 6:20:00
I need to reset a root password on a Solaris 10 box.
I have done this many times before on 5.8 / 5.9 using the following
formula:
Ok> boot cdrom -s
Mount the root partition.
Remove the encrypted password from /etc/shadow
Reboot and login with no password.
When trying this on the Solaris 10 box I get a login incorrect?
Can anyone see where I am going wrong - is there anything new in Solaris
10 to prevent this way of changing the big mans password?
Thanks in advance,
Luke
