From: underh20 on

I just inherited an 8-port Cyclades-TS800. It’s going to be our
first terminal server for our Solaris box. I don’t have the root
password.
In order to reset it to the original factory default password of
"tslinux". I attempted to boot it up to the single mode at “Linux PPC
Load” phase. However, I am getting the following message when I
tried to issue the passwd command :

[root@(none) /]# passwd
passwd: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.

It doesn't let me to proceed. Any idea how I can resolve this ?


Thanks,

Bill
