How do I change or recover a lost root


password in SCO OpenServer 5.0.7?
Solution:
1. If you are able to login as another user run /etc/hwconfig -hc and look for the
root controller hardware adapter driver of the disk for the root disk.

For example:disk – – – type=S ha=0 id=1 lun=0 bus=0 ht=ciss unit=1


Sdsk – – – cyls=8717 hds=255 secs=32 unit=1 fts=stdb 
In this case the ht=ciss shows it is the ciss driver. 
2. Download from ftp.sco.com or from the 5.0.7 installation CD in the
/images/boot directory get the btld for the root controller and create a btld onto
a floppy or CD rom.For floppy:format /dev/rfd0135ds18dd if=btld.img
of=/dev/fd0
3. Insert the 5.0.7 installation CD and reboot the server. (You may have to power
off and on, since you cannot shutdown). 
4. At the boot: prompt load the btld (If needed)For example:Boot: defbootstr
link=”ciss”
5. Continue with the Installation until you get to the Keyboard setup. 
6. At the Keyboard setup of the Installation press F8. Arrow down to the “Shell
Escape” and press Enter.
You will be at an <Installation> prompt 
7. Check to see if /dev/root exisits.l /dev/root
If it does verify is has the major & minor of 1, 42. If not then rm /dev/rootIf you
deleted /dev/root or it does not exist create it:mknod /dev/root b 1 42
8. Mount the root filesystem.mount /dev/root /mntYou might have to clean it up.
If the mount is unsuccessful run and then retry step 8.fsck –ofull /dev/root
9. Now change the root system to the hard
drive./mnt/opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.7Hw/etc/chroot /mnt
