HELP - Reset Root Password

RE: HELP - Reset Root Password

Normally the way to handle this would be to login on single user but it does not work in that manner on IRIX.

Instead what you should do is log into one of the guest accounts, such as "guest", 4Dgifts etc.

Get a terminal, by any means that you know how, and do:

head -1 /etc/passwd

With any luck they have not enabled Shadow passwords.

Copy the password hash here and me or someone else can crack it using Unix crypt() crackers.

https://codeberg.org/SolusRaion -- Code repos I control

Technical problems should be sent my way.
