Start the install all over and use a user name along with a password. Otherwise you'd have to boot to the live cd or install cd to fix it manually. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

Hi Imran Ok then....seems like the only option now is to remove the encrypted password from shadow file only if it exists. I think this site does not allow images to be uploaded so, I have uploaded the file at 4shared.com and you can download it from there. Also i would like you to get familiar with vi editor. Trust me you need to learn this before editing shadow file. Link to the file http://www.4shared.com/file/1070390... Thanks hitesh..

Hi Imran Don't mention it man I am here to help!!!! Rright from the start i was in a doubt that whether you had lost the password or it was something else. For your other question.... As I have worked on solaris for I would always suggest Solaris 10. It's more powerful than any other Unix OS. But you said you want to use BACKTRACK(I dont know much about it) which I guess was released by LINUX. So, what better than LINUX. Thanks HItesh

Hi Imran As you said it says "imran colsole login" You are right that here imran is the hostname (name of your system). I guess now your system is working fine..... For your question on how to know your hostname of the system, after you have logged right click --> open terminal type cat /etc/hosts at the prompt. or just type hostname at the prompt, you will have your hostname. thanks

Hi Imran Solaris 10 requires minimum 256MB RAM to atleast work properly in text mode although, SUN recommends 1024MB but you have more than that. You are able to install the OS, that means OS supports the hardware you specified. The problem lies somewhere else. Follow the link to check whether you missed any steps while installation or If you wish can re-install using these sun docs. http://www.sun.com/software/solaris... Thanks

Hi Imran Before learning Solaris you should be familiar with basic unix commands So, you either buy or download any book for basic unix commands....Google --- UNIX commands/basic unix commands or follow these ------- http://www.rain.org/~mkummel/unix.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux... Also go for Solaris 10 System Administration --- by Bill Calkins......... Its good for preparing for learning and exams. Other links you can refer are.... http://www.joho.com/sun/ewtoc.html http://docs.sun.com http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/81... (click the download this book in pdf link) Thanks

Intel Atom N720 processor 1.6 Ghz 2Gb RAM, 120 GB HDD Pretty sure that will run opensolaris/solaris just fine. http://books.google.com/books?id=2E... "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

I, too, am completely new to Solaris 10; however, I had the same logon problem and resolved it by using "root" as the User Name and the password I entered when reaching the root-password stage during install. Hope this helps. JMJsquared
