Trusted .....

[JK_3]

Dear,
I`ve converted my system into Trusted mode.

Now when I`m trying to change the root password it prompts me to enter the Old Password but it doesn`t take the Old one and says sorry.

How to change the root password without converting into Untrusted mode ????

Any kind of help will be appreciated.

Rgds & Thanxs in Advance

Try boot in single user mode and change password.

JK,

When your current password is longer than 8 characters, enter only the first 8 characters of the password when passwd asks you for it.

Hope this helps.

JK, question... are you su'ing into root and then trying to change the password...? if so are you using the "-" to enable profile. You could be changing the original users' password. It's weird but I had this happen to me once.
Booting to single user mode may not help if when you trusted the server you told it to protect root's password from this event.

try booting into single user mode, mount -a then run /usr/lbin/tsconvert -r to revert to a nontrusted system. Edit /etc/passwd to remove root's encrypted password, then run passwd to set a new one. Make sure it's 8 characters or less. Finally run /usr/lbin/tsconvert to return to trusted.
