If you forget your<br />

administrator<br />

password<br />

If you forget your administrator password<br />

If you forget your administrator password, you can change your<br />

password on the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> itself by booting to the administrative<br />

kernel.<br />

Important: By default, the administrative kernel does not require authentication.<br />

However, if you have configured your system to require administrative kernel<br />

authentication, you will need to temporarily disable authentication using the<br />

maintenance mode option before you can access the administrative kernel and change<br />

your password. For information on disabling administrative kernel authentication when<br />

you have forgotten your password, see “Using maintenance mode to disable<br />

authentication when you have forgotten your password” on page F-20.<br />

Changing your password in the administrative kernel<br />

Follow the steps below to change your password in the administrative<br />

kernel.<br />

1. Attach a keyboard and monitor directly to your <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> and<br />

reboot.<br />

Note: If your system has multiple keyboard/monitor connection ports, you must<br />

attach the keyboard and monitor into the same keyboard/monitor connection port<br />

pair (that is, attach both items either to the front connection ports or the back<br />

connection ports).<br />

2. When the "loading/boot . . . . . ." message appears, press<br />

any key to interrupt the boot sequence.<br />

The number sequence 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 is displayed as the Operational<br />

kernel is booting. Press any key before the 0 appears. A Boot: prompt<br />

then appears.<br />

3. Enter the following command:<br />

bsd.sw.admin -w<br />

4. Press Enter when asked whether to check and mount all file systems.<br />

The system prompt will appear.<br />

5. Enter the following command to change your password:<br />

cf adminuser modify user=name password=newpassword<br />

6. To reboot to the Operational kernel, enter the following command:<br />

shutdown -r now<br />

You can now log in using your new password.<br />
