AIX : Unable to log-in using root account

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can anyone help me on how can I access my IBM server (AIX 5) if you have forgotten your root password?. Is there any other ways on logging in? Also, If ever i have an installer of AIX, is it possible to reformat it, if I have no choice to access the server.

Hope for your assistance. Thanks

Hi Markus,

Thanks for your assistance. If ever I dont have the product media, do you still have any ways on accessing the server?

if you have another machine of the same type you can create a mksysb and boot from that tape...
