How do I break into a NEXT machine where I know no

have to wipe the drives and start over again? Any help is appreciated.
Hi Wayne.
This has been posted on the list before. There are a couple methods. Do
a Google search on these terms:
root next cube site:classiccmp.org
The third result will be relevant to you (be sure to click on the Google
cached version since the CC archives are still offline). Try that out.
If it doesn't work, wait a day or so and hopefully someone posts the more
complete steps for changing the root password.
