-
At the TCS hub prompt, use reset and connect in order to reset the NP card.
Note: Be prepared to press Enter at the prompt.

-
At the single-user prompt, change to the etc directory:
single-user$cd etc
-
Use vi or a similar editor in order to remove the encrypted password fields (marked with ^^^) for each account in the passwd file:
single-user$vi passwd Fromroot:I4ecBSBzgWj8Y:0:0::/:/bin/bash ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ fldsup:QcK54TedA2I/M:1:0::/usr/fldsup:/bin/bash ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ npadmin:YkMkeWw12RSsk:2:0::/usr/npadmin:/bin/bash ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ oper:3rAfI240uTh/M:3:0::/usr/oper:/bin/bash ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ To root::0:0:/:/bin/bash fldsup::1:0::/usr/fldsup:/bin/bash npadmin::2:0::/usr/npadmin:/bin/bash oper::3:0::/usr/oper:/bin/bash
-
Verify the changes:
single-user$more passwd root::0:0:/:/bin/bash fldsup::1:0::/usr/fldsup:/bin/bash npadmin::2:0::/usr/npadmin:/bin/bash oper::3:0::/usr/oper:/bin/bash
-
If the changes look satisfactory, then log out:
single-user$logout
Note: Do not type `. , as this corrupts the password file and takes you back to the start of the process.
