Hi All,

A bit of an odd situation. I recently purchased $99/mth dedicated hardware from Cedant. It is running FreeBSD 6.1. The system seems to have no root user, and no way to access it. All of the following fail:

"su" - FAILS (sorry)
"sudo" - FAILS (command not found)
"passwd root" - FAILS (passwd: permission denied)
