Am I totally screwed?
Hello!
I think i just made a newbie mistake or I was evily hacked to death!!! Please help! I did some changes to my account in Redhat 9.2, now, once i rebooted the box, it tells me that my account has expired and to contact the system administrator!!! WTF? I just added my account to all these different groups... So, i think, not to worry, just login with the su password right? Wrong! It tells me that it is an incorrect username and password!!! How can I get back into my box!!! Thx! |
What changes did you make to your account and how did you make them?
You say you can't login as root? That's not a good sign I'm afraid :( Mike |
Where'd you get RedHat 9.2, or did I miss something? I don't think 9.1 has been released yet...
Do you mean a different distro? Try to get in through rescue mode to reset the root password: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...light=password Cool |
I think when you edited your account you added an expiration date. That would cause your account to say that. *Chuckles*
Well, your sure you logged on like this right? Username: root Password: And put your correct root password in right? Because you said 'su password' and I'm not sure what you mean. ;) |
AHHH!!!
i was logging in as su!! Silly newbie me! Thx for saving my life Kneeless!! woohoo! |
