> Please do the following to recover/reset the root password:>
>         1.  Obtain console access>
>         2.  Power off the system and boot it up in single user mode.
>             This is done by typing "-s" at the boot: prompt.>
>         3.  Next, the system will do it's normal boot up process.  When
prompted>             for "pathname" enter: /usr/libexec/ui/recovery-mode
>             This will run a script for password recovery.>
>             Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how to login via the console into a M40 when you
don't have the root password? (We got the M40 in an auction but realized
that we cannot login into it and we are in a bit of a mess now).

I will highly appreciate any suggestions or pointers.

Thanks a lot.
