SLeeM@N Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 type "whoami" in the console but what about the "root" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted March 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 22, 2008 If you can login at least as root, from the command line type: more /etc/passwd It'll list the passwd file with a list of all users on the system. You should spot the login name you made in there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jingarelho Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 in ubuntu you can recover it this way : " Turn your computer on. Press ESC at the grub prompt. Press e for edit. Highlight the line that begins kernel ???, press e Go to the very end of the line, add rw init=/bin/bash press enter, then press b to boot your system. Your system will boot up to a passwordless root shell. Type in passwd username Set your password. Type in reboot " i dont know if works in Solaris too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehlo Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Solaris may have a single user mode but it probably isn't started in the same way as those parameters are sent to the linux kernel rather than grub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjordan2001 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Could boot up a livecd of some sort and read the passwd file that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
