Re: I can get into my server ...please help!!!
If you have a rescue floppy that you created (you did create one didn't you?) then put it in and boot off it. Most people don't bother creating one of these though so you're next best bet is to find your installation CD's.
Most distributions will allow you to boot off their installation CD and give you the chance of running a rescue shell. Once in, you mount your root partition and go and edit the password file manually. The instructions for this will be slightly different for each distro so which distro are you running?
If the problem is deeper than just a corrupt password file, you will at least probably be able to get your data off the system.

Re: I can get into my server ...please help!!!
1) @ the lilo prompt
LILO: linux init=/bin/bash
2) / is mount read-only, so
# mount -o remount,rw /
( dont type ^D or exit !!!! )
3) you can now type 'passwd' to change the passwd
4) to reboot
dont use 'reboot' or 'shutdown' ( init is not running )
use:
# mount -o remount,ro /
and reset the server

If the damage is severe, you can try your Red Hat Emergency Diskette.
Based on what that tells you if you post it, people can help you proceed.
It is likely there is hardware damage, and depending on what kind, that will determine the next step.

SolutionYou can use e-mule and similar to download it.
2. You can connect to hard drive that you boot from on windows2000 to another machine as secondary.Then locate the file called "sam" -it's somewhere in c:\winnt\system32
and delete it.This will reset your accounts database.
Of course if you have user accounts on that server -they will be deleted too and in this case I suggest you to get back to option 1.
