Root password canged while im loged in

ther is somthing else making mr not able to login via consol i think.

cus i have repaced the master.passwd with som old backuppfile and it stil doesnt work.


i am able to login with my user via ssh but not in consolle and maby i am able to login to root via ssh if i enable it. ar maby not cuz i cant su with the user i have and it is in wheel.

I realize that English is a second (or even third) language for you, but I am finding it difficult to follow you.

How can you change the master.passwd file if you are not root? You must be root to do that.

If not, you have too many problems and I would consider starting over from the beginning. Reload, and try again.

Am lost here, this is really getting no where, I would say backup all your files and make a new installation and make sure you don’t mess with your root, yeah and I would agree with Daemonguy about your spelling mistakes, the spellchecker mod is been installed for a reason, I use it all the time!!

well here is what i have done.._:
i have booted my bsd box with siegel use mood, and mounted all that i should i am now logged in as root. and then i'm trying to change my password but i don't have permission.



pleas ask if you don't understand me..

So now you *are* able to become root -- before you said you could not.

As root you are trying to change root's password?
You ran passwd as the root user?

If you ran passwd as root, and are unable to alter it -- which could be the drive requiring fsck'ing, or the fact you *replaced* the master.passwd file(bad), or any one of a hundred other things -- I would say, rebuild the box.

you got me right. i have replaced the file and is rebuilding the onley way?

anf if fscj'ing is needed what do i do?




and as i said before. from ssh i can logon as my user not rott. nor su is possible.


and then i tryed to login with my use from consolle and no it didnt work.

i think culdnt it be somthing about the ttys ?

This feels like I am having my leg pulled.



Now you are saying you cannot become root;


I gave you several steps to complete.

I am done with this thread.

i'm sorry i can simply not explain myself so that you understand..

i have done all the steps you posted.
