[OpenIndiana-discuss] problem with login password

Sat Jan 29 17:31:33 UTC 2011

Thank you Michelle and Edward,

But I have not managed to recover my password. This is not a question of your
keyboard. I tried the livecd but I could not have mounted the disk partition on
which was installed OpenIndiana. I'll have to redo the installation. But I
'll wait for the next release. I liked OpenIndiana daily although it was not
my main system. Aside from some minor problems here and there in use on a
netbook is a real charm of speed and stability (except at boot a bit long)
The choice is really nice wifi automatic. The other problem I noticed is
that I do not see my other disk partitions or ext4. Aside from it's fine.

Regard
