Forgotten root password

[bampy]

Hi all,
At some point, I must have changed the default root password (which, I'm told is blank)

I believe the only way to reset the password is via the passwd command once you're logged in as root over telnet, but as I cannot login over telnet (cos I've forgotten the password), I'm kinda stuck

I've convinced myself that I need to reinstall OpenVix, but when I put the USB key in, it just goes thru the upgrade process which, of course, retains whatever the password is currently set to

So, I guess I have two questions:

1. Is there any way to reset the root password when one does not have the current password and, if there is no way to do that then...
2. How does one "force" a reinstall of OpenVix?

Many thanks

Just go into the menu. Setup/Network/Password - you will get a prompt to type a new password. Change your ftp or telnet to use the new password. User remains as root.
