FSCK INTERRUPTED
STARTING A SHELL FOR MANUAL fsck, ^D WHEN FILE SYSTEM FIXED
(in bcheckrc) # <blockcursor>"
Was that block cursor the single user prompt??
YOU'RE IN! At this point the system is running in single user mode.
You've got root permissions.
Don't <cntrl-D> until you've changed the root password.
NOTE: I don't have my HPUX system running so, you might want to get some
additional input here. I think you have two choices. You can either edit
"/etc/passwd" removing the root password or you can create a new user.
I'd try to create a new user giving that user root permissions. Then you
can reboot and login as the new user. Since that user has root
permissions, he can change any of the passwords including root's.
See ya,
