What is the default password of the new 2.2.2 sys? This brings me to the general question: Provided one has physical access to a system (ie, can boot from a floppy) what is the procedure to redefine the passwords. I guess one has to use the fixit.flp sys and mount the main disk somehow. Thanks, Enoch. mailto:enoch@wexler.co.il
