Hi Forum,
When I boot up FreeBSD for the first time
(not completely the first time - as I've had earlier versions installed and had the same problem,
but didn't report it because I was trying to find a solution.) the root password or the user password
just says login incorrect. I am sure the passwords were correct 100%.
So eg.
So I boot into single user mode and I type:
then
try a few password combinations, get them right 100%, but it still comes up with Error: Password Mismatch, press EOF to quit.
then
then get rid of the "c" in csh in the root area up the top. Probably cause I think its caused by the root shell not being sh.
This does not work. Is there something wrong with my hardware? It doesn't like all that Advanced Configuration Power Interface stuff.
Errors with that could be related I suppose.
