login
su
passwd
cd /etc/cron.daily
ls -la
copy and paste the output here

you can also try the "tab" trick.  press the first few letters and then tab
and it figures out the rest.  for example
cd /eTABrcTABiTAB
equals
cd /etc/rc.d/init.d/
you can also rm aTABTAB to see a list of everything that starts with a

So you could
rm /eTABcrTAB.dTABsTAB
or
rm /etc/cron.daily/scheduled-backup.admin

The tab will help if it has a strange filename
