I'm experancing problems accessing Linux (0.99pl4), after modifing
my shadow and passwd files.

I'm unable to access Linux via the xdm or the normal text mode method.

How can I mount and access the device (/dev/hdb1) after booting with diskette
a1 and a2, if possible? So that I can reverse the changes.

Is there any other way around Linux's security systems?

do i have to reinstall from scratch??

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Rick Munn.
