Note: Firmware versions older than 4.x do not display the LILO prompt at boot time. This procedure only works with SCSx20s running 4.0 or higher.

• Put a terminal on the console port and cycle the power on the SCSx05 or SCSx20
  

• At the LILO prompt type a question mark (?) then "linux single". This will cause the SCSx05 to boot in single user mode:

• Use the Linux 'passwd' command to set the root and sysadmin passwords to something you know:

• In this case the default passwords of "root" for root and "PASS" for sysadmin were used. That's why Linux complained about too-short passwords. It accepted them anyway.
  

• Reboot:
