Topic: help? forgot admin password

[achefk]

I know this looks bad, but I have been out of the school for a while and my office is torn apart and I can't for the life of me remember my password.

Is there a way from the console to access this system?

If not I will just have to reinstall and load all the data back on at another time.

Thanks for any help

SMEserver-up single

change admin password:
passwd admin <newpassword>
