Trying to remote login will probably give the same symptoms. Boot in single user mode (add -s on the grub kernel line). You get a console login prompt. Login as root. That one might accept an empty password (untested). If that fails, boot from a live CD, mount the root pool in /a or /mnt, and paste the hash of a known password into the second field of the entry for root in /etc/shadow The hash for the password "solaris" (without the quotes) is $5$3Euhlh2Y$E9qTjs62HIoipqTwY75Ox.JDVgk/9QFglv.w1rE4wE0 Hope this helps. -- ( Kees Nuyt ) c[_] _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
