| 00:04.27 | mango | hi, I have changed the password of super user on a power book computer running debian etch. I have forgotten the super user password. My cdrom is screwed, the only way I have access to the machine is by ssh. I can log on to it but just as normal user |
| 00:04.39 | mango | can any one help me find the password |
| 00:04.42 | mango | please |
| 00:04.47 | mango | ?? |
| 00:06.23 | pahartik | mango: does it have on-board IEEE-1394 adapter? |
| 00:07.24 | mango | pahartik: how can i find out please? |
| 00:07.44 | pahartik | mango: or, does it have "sudo" properly installed? |
| 00:08.36 | mango | pahartik: sudo is installed but not configured. |
| 00:08.48 | mango | did you mean wireless connection |
| 00:08.50 | mango | ?? |
| 00:09.01 | mango | I am running debian etch on it |
| 00:09.17 | pahartik | mango: if you power it up and hold "T" key down, does it boot into "IEEE-1394 target disk mode"? |
| 00:09.54 | mango | I have to try, if it works what should i do next |
| 00:09.56 | mango | ? |
| 00:12.11 | pahartik | mango: it shows clear symbol on screen if that worked... and then you can just connect IEEE-1394 cable between that PowerBook and another workstation, and have access to PowerBook harddisk as external harddisk device on workstation |
| 00:19.16 | mango | pahartik: yes it does show me linux old when the tab key is pressed, one more thing, what is ieee-1394 please] |
| 00:21.13 | pahartik | mango: if it booted that far, you held down "T" too late, or your PowerBook is old enough to not have built-in IEEE-1394 adapter |
| 00:22.31 | mango | pahartik: it did not do anyti=hing at all apart from showing linux old then go back to the boot prompt => boot: |
| 00:25.27 | pahartik | mango: take look at "http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583"... |
| 00:26.07 | mango | pahartik: thanks man |
| 00:31.39 | pahartik | mango: you are welcome |

| 23:38.22 | pahartik | mango: by "link" you probably mean URL to that document about "IEEE-1394 target disk mode"... "http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583" |
| 23:40.00 | mango | pahartik: can it be run via usb also |
| 23:40.30 | pahartik | mango: no |
