    not sure, but you just boot with the install or diag cd, then choose to start a recovery session, mounting rootvg. then you just type "passwd" and set it. the trick is the booting from the install cd and picking the recovery session. everything else is pretty straightforward.

    Is there a good reference for resetting the root password on AIX 5.1

    Thanks,
