Recoving root password with Veritas file systems

[hpuxrox]

Does anyone know the process to recover the root password with veritas file systems?

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

Recovering the root password and Veritas file system have nothing to do with each other.

You can not if forgotten recover the root password on an HP-UX system.

If locked, a console login will unlock it.

If lost or unknown:

Reboot
hpux -is

Boot Single user mode.

passwd

That will let you reset it.

If I misunderstand your question, let me know.

There's no difference with LVM/veritas, etc.

So the password recovery process is the same.

It also depends if you are running on standard mode or in a trusted system, the recovery process is different for each case.

Password recovery nothing to do with Filesystem.

- You can recover the root password by booting into single user mode:
PA RISC:ISL> hpux -is
Integrity :from HPUX> boot vmunix -is

and use: #/sbin/passwd root
(You can set a new root password here , assuming system is not trusted mode.)
