Hi! Masters!
Today is the worst day of my life.
We have an Alpha 1200 with DU.4d and unexpectedly we lost the root user,
now we can't do anything.
We do have a backup of the /etc/passwd file. Is it possible to restart the
computer using a cd-rom , tape or floppy disk and then restore the file?
Any other ideas?
Thanks for all.
Zaludos.
