[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana-discuss Digest, Vol 21, Issue 11

Wed Apr 11 16:25:15 UTC 2012

I had to give up, the live cd environment couldn't even do a zpool import and none of the passwords seemed to work.

Trying to get single user boot to work failed, too. I almost got there but then it wanted my root password, so I couldn't go that route to reset a forgotten password.

But I was extremely worked up about it, so maybe I just couldn't get my fingers in order...

could someone describe in gruesome detail how to use the live cd to do system salvage work on a zfs system? Such as reset the passwords for users and root?
I thought I knew the root and jack passwords, but obviously I didn't.

Again: HELP!  :-)
