How will you rectify the root passwd in solaris

Answer Posted / sbrahman75

Boot through cdrom 1/3 cd in single user mode.

Ok boot cdrom-s

# mount –F ufs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s6 /mnt

# cd mnt

#set TERM=vt100

#export TERM --> If you dont give, vi editor won't start
properly

# vi /etc/shadow (remove the passwd entry and save the file)

# umount /mnt

# reboot ( While system come up it will ask the new root
passwd.)
