Enter a root Password

Users must not disclose their passwords to another person, as that person may then have access to the data of the user and will not be uniquely identified or accountable. Note that disclosure can be direct, through the user deliberately disclosing her/his password to another person, or indirect, for example, through writing it down, or choosing an insecure password. Trusted Solaris provides protection against insecure passwords, but cannot prevent a user disclosing her/his password or writing it down.

A Trusted Solaris system must have a root password in order for the root role to work. The root role is required for successful configuration.

1. If you manually reboot your system, type:

   # halt ok boot disk

2. Choose a root password by answering the password prompts.

   Root password: rootpassword Re-enter your root password: rootpassword

   Caution -

   Do not forget the root password. The software cannot be configured without it.
