Many people responded, and I was surprised, pleasantly how many 
people still get mail on this list.  Most responses were the same
and I will use the first as the summary.

I have a couple of DS10s with 4.0G installed and they boot fine but I don't
have the password to login.

How do I get it to boot into single user mode, and if there can I edit the
password file?

Can I use a 4.0G CD to 'fix'the installation so I can log in?

Any other recommendations?

Tom
