Very Computer

hi,

  I don't know if my machine is hacked or not, but the ultimate
fact is "root password was changed!!"
  Now, I wonder what I can do, beside installing a fresh system.

any suggestion greatly appreciated,
b

You can boot in single user mode.

To do it, go in manual boot mode (Press enter to continue or wait...)

and type :

boot s

You'll have a shell (sh).

passwd root...

You can boot from floppy (FreeBSD) log as root (no password needed) and
remove passwords from /etc/master.passwd.

boot with a freebsd bootdisk, go into configure andgo down to change
root password, and type in your new password, then exit install (it will
reboot the system on exit) and you should be fine.
