Help. I feel REALLY stupid.

I had a perfectly working FreeBSD 2.0 System.
I downloaded and extracted "secrdist" from 2.0-Release.
Now I cannot log in.

I know what I did wrong. The passwords no longer match since
the original system did not use des.

My question is, how do I reverse the process. How do I "uninstall"
the "secrdist"?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please send email as this is a time-critical problem.
