Hello guys,
I locked myself out of Parsons.mit.edu accidentally. I was trying
to help a poor soul who needed a zillion of bytes for temp. storage
(they always say it's temporary, don't they?).
The problem was that when I tried to add a new user to Parsons (by
editing the password file), the root password got changed somehow.
Fortunatedly I was experimenting with my own Athena account only
so I am currently the only one affected (my diskquota is zero bytes
now).
I know you people are awfully busy with the elease of the new
Athena OS, but could you give some priority to fixing this problem
for me?
Thanks,
Ramon Herrera
