Does he know the password for root? If yes, log in as root, not himself. If not, the do the following: Pick single user mode from the beastie menu, then do something like the following: mount -a -t ufs cd /usr/sbin ./sysinstall now inside of the install menu find the option to change/set root's password and do that, then reboot. -mike _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
