Hi all I just started to work as a DBA. The previous dba left without leaving any passwords for the servers.
all servers run ubuntu 10.4.2 LTS. Is there a safe way that I can gain access to these servers? any help would be appreciated.

if you can login to the server then if its asking for a admin password then it is the same as you login with.
