Don't remember password.

[Michael Havens]

I think the link you sent will help.... it teaches how to eraase all
passwords (I think) I'll give the guy who installed the OS a day to see if
he remembers the password he he3 set. I hope he does because I don't have a
knoppix disk. I do havee a PHLAK disk and I think that will work as well. If
not maybe that PLUGer on Mingus mountain can help me out.
