Hi All, In my vain attempts to get my Red Hat 9 hooked up to my windows xp system via samba I have somehow managed to find myself logged out of my linux system. When the "local host log-on" comes up and I am prompted for my user name and password what I used to give it before no longer works and sometimes a message will come up that my password has expired. Can anyone help me here. I have admin password etc but even this doesn't seem to work and if I could get to a screen whre it requires the admin user name and password then I could probably get logged in again. Many thanks in advance. Paul. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
