You could also boot a systems disk and mount / . Once it
was mounted you would
use vi to edit the /etc/passwd file.
Well The machine has booted up with a login: prompt.
How do I access the menu that will let me change the
password?
Any suggestions on a boot disk that will fir on a 5.25?
Is this a 360 or a 1.2 meg drive?
On the back are 3 ports labeled line 1, 2 and phone are
these for a modem? Why 2 lines?
Any sources for disks?
