[cobalt-developers] dead root password

[charlie wood <charliew@xxxxxxxxxx>]

HELP!

I can't log in as root anymore! Very weird. My superuser password (which 
is supposed to be the same as the admin password) somehow got disabled 
(actually, the user "admin" has somehow been removed from the wheel 
group, as well as several others...how, I don't know). I tried the 
paperclip thing a few times, with no luck...it changes the admin 
password, but it does not change the su password (as one would expect).

Is there a way to wipe (or rewrite) the entire shadow file or the shadow- 
file?

Short of that, is there a way I can wipe the whole RaQ3 and start over 
all new and shiny-like?

Thanks.
