Password Reset
-
I have read "http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,16048.msg83864.html#msg83864" & "http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/I_locked_myself_out_of_the_WebGUI%2C_help!#Forgotten_Password_with_Locked_Console"
The problem is that I do not get the boot menu (ASCII pfSense logo). After hitting F1, I hit 4 continuously then I get a "boot: " prompt. Continuing to boot only gets me to the login: prompt.
I booted from a FreeBSD install disk and used the Fixit option; from there mounted the pfSense drive and tried to run rc.initial.password only to get crypto lib errors.
Suggestions?

Embedded install? Have you tried a serial console?

Standard PC, version 1.2.2
Have not tried the serial console -
Sounds like something very wrong is going on, possibly a corrupt install.
Have you tried an upgrade to 1.2.3?
