Dear Samba Help, I have forgotten my root password to my SAMBA system, is there a way I can login to the system without root password, and then change the root password after login ? Will appreciate your assistance. Best Regards Mit freundlichem Gru?

Use the SWAT web tool. It will ask you to log in using the linux root password. Then click on the password icon and change the root password for samba - it won't ask you what the old password was.
