Hello,
you can boot the Proventia using some rescue CD.
I used this one:
http://www.sysresccd.org/
Then just mount the filesystem with /etc directory.
According to the /etc/fstab:
---
/dev/sda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620
0 0
none /proc proc defaults
0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults
0 0
/dev/sda3 /rboot ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda6 /cache ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda7 /restore ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda8 /backup ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro
0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner
0 0
---
do for example: mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/mnt1
Using vi editor erase root's password from /mnt/mnt1/etc/passwd
or /mnt/mnt1/etc/shadow so it will look like:
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
or
root::12696:0:99999:7:::
Reboot the box. Login using empty password and then set root's and
Admin's password to whatever you want.

Hello,
I have tried both methods in a Proventia M50, but it does not
work, the
system hangs up.
Do you know another way to recover the password in the
Proventia M50 without
having to reinstall the appliance?
I hope you can help me.
