Hi Skunks, I have an old IBM xSeries 235 server that runs the above OS on an UltraSCSI hard disk. It doesn't have any IDE hard disks installed. Problem is, I don't have any logon credentials for logging into the server, so I'd like to reset the root password by editing the passwd/shadow files using a LiveCD. Unfortunately, it seems like Linux distros are unable to read the filesystem used, which I suspect to be EAFS or HPFS. Since I have downloaded a number of ISOs which don't seem to be of much help, I am thinking of trying FreeBSD, but I am not sure whether it will help me solve this matter. Someone kindly advise. Me. -- שִׁמְעוֹן
