WH>      When you installed the OS somewhere during the install process it

Ok, I remember the password and I tried Root aswell. The password works but 
then I am aske to type in some more info afterwards. Again, I do not know 
hat
it is asking me to do and there IS NO information in the manual as to what I 
am supposed to type in. -note, please nobody amswer this with a smart-alek 
response like RE-read the manual(I did that!!!) and don't tell me to ask for 

refund, you can shut your mouth if your not going to offer REAL help. Anyway, 
to continue; I don't know where I am suposed to enter the above commands you 
gave me, should I type them in right after my password is accepted or am I 
supposed to type in the file number it wants? BTY, this is RedHat 5.
