Is my only solution booting into single-user mode?
Thanks,
Randy

Re: Root disabled - no console login prompt
Can you login with another user and see what's going on with the console? Which processes is root running there?
Do you have sudo?

Re: Root disabled - no console login prompt
root 2780 1 0 Jan 5 console 0:00 -sh
root 2955 2780 0 Jan 5 console 0:00 vi /var/tmp/sh2780.1
We have sudo installed to enable certain users to reset passwords, but we do not allow them to reset root.
Thanks,
Randy

Re: Root disabled - no console login prompt
Right. Try a control-L then ":q!" if you don't want to save it.
