    Dear admins!

    I have this B2000 running with 10.20 in trusted mode, and somehow i'm not able too log in as root.
    (someting fuzzy with the password, i know i'm using the right one...)
    When trying to boot into single user mode, i'm prompted for password.....dead end....

    Anyone out there that got a helping idea for me
    ...exept reinstall.... :-)
