Console Port Server

[Anonymous user]

After enable the the shadow file, root password wont work, i used the following steps:

1)touch /etc/shadow
2)adduser boo
3) vi /etc/shadow -then i edited the file so that root, boo, tomb..

however i forgot to add rpc,nobody and sshd,..
4) i then replaced all passwords with an x in the passwd file.

Now i cant login on any user, i do type saveconf :(...

How would i reset this is solve the problem?

Thanks

Hi thanks for the quick reply, infact i'm not sure about the model, but i fixed it i found the manual in the end. Had to type single on boot... then change the password worked a treat 🙂
