[KAT_5]

I have hp-ux 11.0 with trusted setup. I forget the Admin password. When I boot the system in singal user mode it still ask me for the admin password to logon. System is L-class. Please advise how to change password in trusted system

In single user mode, try 2 things:
1) type 'passwd'
# passwd
2) edit the /tcb/files/auth/r/root file and remove the encrypted password,
then do the passwd command again

Hi,

you have to boot from install CD
1. terminate normal booting booting
2. search for cdrom device: sea
3. boot from cdrom bo pX (replace X with your number)
4. Run a Recovery Shell
loadfile /sbin/fs/hfs/fsck
loadfile /sbin/fs/vxfs/fsck
loadfile /sbin/fs/hfs/mount
loadfile /sbin/fs/vxfs/mount
loadfile /usr/bin/ed
chroot_lvmdisk
cd /ROOT/tcb/files/auth/r

5. modify your root file (u_pwd) section

hi,


the author's problem is that he enabled the
"Require Login Upon Boot to Single-User State"
option in TCB .so he will not be able to login in to the system in single user mode also without passwd. any option is available with recovery cd ?

Dear experts.
hp-ux 11.0 with trusted setup is not allow to change password in single user mode.
In order to change passwd. You must break trusting on trusting server.
