I have a situation where most of my user information on an old Novell 3.12 server has been corrupted. I can get in on one of the surviving user names, but it does not have supervisor rights, so I cannot get at some of the data. I've read that renaming the file NET$PROP.SYS will fool Novell into thinking that the security system has not been set up yet, and thus create a new supervisor with a null password. Can anyone first of all verify this, and secondly, I need a copy of the old dos version of norton diskedit to rename the file. Has anyone got one and supporting files to send to me. Thanks and regards

Here you can download a small tool to set a new password for the supervisor. You need physical access to the server to change the password. http://www.geocities.com/SiliconVal... Please send a reply, if you solved the problem !!!

It's a bit more complicated than that. The user 'Supervisor' does not exist anymore. Somehow the user info has got corrupted and of the remaining users left, none of them have supervisor privledges. I can get into the server, but can only see the directories that the remaining users have rights to.

I remember, that in the past, there was a tool named adminadd. It's an NLM that allows you to create a new supervisor account. The problem is, I don't remember, where I found that tool. So try to google for adminadd.nlm. Please send a reply, if you solved the problem !!!

I'll give it a try, thanks for your help.
