AW: Major FreeBSD Problem plz help

[Alexander Liebau]

yes the system is now in a fresh state (same as if you do a fresh install)
root has no password and all user are gone (the install has overwritten the
passwd-file). just log in on a local console with root (you wont need a
password)

Betreff: Major FreeBSD Problem plz help


Hello, I messed something up in my FreeBSD-5.2.1 box. I ran sysinstall
in root and installed compat4 and some other compatibility base dir
thing and it extracted over / i think and now the box wont recognize my
logins. I am locked out of my own box. Is there a way to reset what I
did so i wont lose any data. My server is colocated at a datacenter and
the techs would have to do it. Could you guys possibly explain what
needs to be done so i wont lose any data and reset what i did. Any help
would be greatly appreciated

Regards,
Jonathan
