Hi all,

I feel so silly to ask this question, but we don't have any system admin
manual to look up. Our machine is alpha station 255/300 with DU4.0B. When
boot in single usr mode, it display these two lines:

  Digital UNIX Version V4.0 (Amnesiac) console
  login:

I tried to login as "root", "sysadmin", "adm" ..., none of them works. It
just keep prompting out these two lines. Can anybody tell me what's the
single user login name? Or is it possible to get around this login process?
Your help would be gratefully appreciated (our system crashed and
won't boot in multiuser mode, I have to get in in single user mode to fix it).
