    Lost root password - no cd

    Hi again. I received the CDs, which turned out to be DVDs. Does this matter. Is there a 'boot dvdrom -s"? It has been booting for a while over a half hour. It just says: Rebooting with command: boot cdrom -s Boot device: /sbus/SUNW,fas@e,8800000/sd@6, 0:f File and args: -s No blinking on...

    He did not say bootable CD. He is gone now! I have a personal copy of Roxio and a CD burner at home. I'm going to burn one this weekend. Wait. That didn't sound right! Soooo Close. Thanks Annihilannic!

    I am not sure about the formats. I don't have a CD burner so I had to get network guy to burn it. I know he used Roxio.

    Rock on coffeysm! I finally got to the OK prompt. Now when I try to boot to the cdrom I get errors. I burned ISO files to cds and tried Solaris 9 and disk1 of Solaris 10. Any ideas. Are these the right disks I should be booting too?

    I can't get anything besides the console login prompt. I tried the ISO file for 9 and the first ISO CD for 10. I don't know any other way to boot this box except for powering off/on.

    I downloaded and burned on the first ISO for disk1. Is this correct? Whn I put this CD in, I get a media error. I can traverse through the files on my PC though. I do not know how to get to any prompt. I just get the console login prompt. Here is the first part of the procedure: Load the...

    I am downloading the installation disks right now! Thank you so much Annihilannic! Great information. I am almost positive we have Solaris 10. Once I have then disks, how do I boot it to get it in single user mode? Franz, I'm in the metro Detroit Michigan USA area. I think the climate is...

    I am not sure what version of Soloris it is running. And I do not know what ISO is. I'm googling it. I really appreciate everyone's help. I'm on my own here when it come to Oracle and Unix. I can handle the Oracle and most of the Unix if I could just get on it. And Franz, I would love to...
