Hi! Thanks! But how di i do that without logging in. Can’t log in with any user.

any? can't you log in as root?

[anders-s]

No not even root. only admin into server manager web-gui

Boot up to the sme 7.4 CD and type
sme rescue
Then at the bash prompt type
chroot /mnt/sysimage

Then you have access via command prompt and can fix your problem ie undo whatever inappropriate changes you have already made, exit, remove CD & reboot.

Thank´s I did a long forgotten safety update should not affect the server but it may have ben in a vulnerable state for a long time. Server works perfectly and ticks on fine as it is . But I will try your rescue ops. next weekend. Thanks for your Help!
