Re: password change trusted system
I remember either zeroing out the password or doing away with it prompting me for the old one. I think it was an undocumented SAM command line or it was the passwd command in the sam directory tree somewhere. In any event I remember putting a -p or -P then I could run passwd and it would change to the new one. Ring any bells?

Re: password change trusted system
edit /tcb/files/auth/r/root ( zero out the passwd field.
If you cannot successfully become root then you need to crash the system to single user and do the above.
No other way...

Re: password change trusted system
For your information
#modprpw -x ( root its not for superuser.)
In manpages of modprpw its clearly mention that root cant run this command for itself.
