This is my first posting I'm not clear on the protocol.
I've read the FAQ and searched the postings and couldn't find a resolution.
I need to reset the root password on an IBM H50.
I have booted the H50 with the Standalone Diagnostics CD loaded, and pressed F5 after the graphics appeared to get to the Diags screen. I can't see how to get to a shell to edit /etc/passwd and reset the root password.
I edited the normal mode boot list as follows: 1. CD-ROM, 2. hdisk 1, 3. hisk2, and restarted the server with Disk 1 of AIX 4.3.3 in the CD-ROM drive. It still booted from hdisk1!
I feel like I'm on the right track, but I can't cross the finish line!
