See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge The following method is used to obtain the supervisor account on NetWare 2. It will work on NetWare 3, but there is an easier way which follows. The following is fairly complicated, and is not recommended for beginners. 1. Reboot the server and load DOS. 2. Use a disk editor to examine the Novell partition and locate the directory entries for the bindery files (NET$BIND.SYS and NET$BVAL.SYS). 3. Check for backup copies of the bindery with extension OLD (ie, NET$BIND.OLD and NET$BVAL.OLD). If you find them, change their extension to XXZ. 4. Change the SYS extension to OLD. 5. Restart the server. It will create a new bindery with SUPERVISOR and GUEST accounts; both without passwords. 6. Login as SUPERVISOR and run BINDREST to restore the old bindery. 7. Change the SUPERVISOR password. On NetWare 3, there are a number of NLMs which will reset the supervisor password (SETPWD and SETSPASS) or create supervisor equivalent accounts (BURGLAR). SETPWD is available by anonymous ftp from netlab2.usu.edu. In general, you should have at least one supervisor equivalent account (see section 3.01).
