    Re: recover lost admin password

    @ Pbhound.

    What happens if you boot into recovery mode, leaving you in a root console.
    Could you
    Code:
     cd /home/
    Code:
    ls -a

    You'll find your username there.
    then

    Code:
    passwd username
    Enter new UNIX password:
    Retype new UNIX password:
    passwd: password updated successfully

    reboot, log in with your username and passwd.

    When your thread it solved: go to thread tools > Mark this thread as solved
    for SIS 771/671 use xcompmgr to have transparent terminals. just load it at startup.

    And then they asked: what's a pbkac error?
