Re: [cobalt-users] needing to reset root passwd

I've got a raq3 thats having mail problems, it's really difficult to
troubleshoot without root which I can't get into. I'm guessing the
previous owner changed the root password from the cli. I've tried
resetting the admin password in the web interface but its not
effecting the actual root password. I've read about the reset switch
on the back, I've got 2 questions about it. First, does it reset the
root password and second, does it reset anything else? I can't have
it resetting the whole unit (ie clearing everything) or the settings
in the web interface.

In short, I don't have the root password (nor can obtain it) which
was set on the cli and I need to reset it without erasing any other
data.

Thanks in advance.

Can you access the admin GUI?
