Dear people from NetBSD,
I have installed the system correctly and changed the password for root
for another password.
Until yesteray, all was working fine, but today, when I was trying to
put some users in the masterpwd.db file, i think i hae made a mistake and
deleted the users that was on it. Now the system reboots fine but when the
password for root is asked I can't access the system anymore.
I noticd that ptmp file appeared. After some tries i think i have got
the access to the shell but i can't modify the masterpwd.db file and make a new
database for it.
Please, how can I gain access to the old file again?
Thanks for everything,
Daniel.
