I was able to boot into it in single user mode. However it still asks for user and pass info. quick background on why we need to reset it.
Our admin passed away last weekend and no one knows the root pass. After we reboot the server because it was behaving oddly, nfs share is now read-only mode and we dont have access to the system to change the share permission level. We are growing desperate. HELP!

Would reinstalling the openindiana over would keep all the settings in place?
