# From console, interrupt the boot routine:

 
        Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command
prompt.

# Enter into single-user mode:

        Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
        ok boot -s
 

# Enter the shell:

        Jan  1 00:36:47 init: /etc/spwd.db: No such file or directory
        Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: 


# Mount the virtual file systems (for JUNOS 5.4 and above, it is not
necessary to mount the jbase package, however the other packages still
need to be mounted):

        NOTE: to go to multi-user operation, exit the single-user shell
(with
^D)

# Enter recovery mode:

        # /usr/libexec/ui/recovery-mode
 

# Enter configuration mode and either delete or change the root
authentication password:

 
        root> configure 
        Entering configuration mode
 
        [edit]
        root# delete system root-authentication 

# Commit the changes, and exit configuration mode

        [edit]
        root # commit 
        commit complete
 
        [edit]
        root@router# exit 
        Exiting configuration mode
 
        root@router> exit 
 

Exit recovery mode and enter "y" when prompted to reboot the system:

        Reboot the system? [y/n] y
        Terminated

The system now reboots and changes made to root authentication are
activated.

My boss give me a Juniper M5 router and said
the owner needed config info from the box
but FORGOT the password.  The owner dosen't
want the config erased, of course.  

Any ideas?  Where would I find this info.

Thanks.
