Brian,
That would be great! I did get logged in as "install" but it wouldn't
let me edit the password file. My address is: Joe Rigdon, 2960 Lowery Dr.,
Oviedo, Florida, 32765.
BTW is there a way to tell if this is a 7300 or a 3B1, other than the
markings on the bottom of the case? The markings say this is a 7300 but I
was told that only the 3B1 has the hump in the case and this one has a
hump. The front label says it has a 40 Mb hard drive and du verifies that.
Joe

Brian,
Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll try them. I bought the 7300 at a
trift store so I don't have any of the disks or documentation or know any
of the account names. I expect a rescue disk may be required. hint! hint!
Ok, just send me your mailing address and I'll send you a copy. It's
really two disks, one with the same kernel version as you have (3.51)
and on with a stand-alone floppy file system with just a few programs
also from a 3.51 system. You boot off the one and then it will ask
for you to insert the root file system. Once you insert that disk and
hit return, you'll get a single user root prompt after a few seconds.
Then you can mount the hard drive:
/etc/mount /dev/fp002 /mnt
and edit the password file:
ed /mnt/etc/passwd
Once you're done, unmount the hard drive:
/etc/umount /dev/fp002
and you can reboot.
Thanks for the URL of your webpage I certainly
check it out.
Hope it's useful.
Brian
