the thing is i cant access to the "system root" and i can't access to the
hardware password"
i think i can access to the root password this way :
bypass the password by put the jumper on in the motherboard and after that
in the console type "resetpw"
this would do for the hadware password but i have no ids for the system
password because the main problem is the system date "1 january 1970"
because of the battery and when you change the root password and you reboot
the machine its asking you to change the password because its not up to date
again and again and again nad again and again..........
