Hello once again,

I am system manager for the EAPS cluster.

About a week and half ago, you re-installed the OS on 
mercury.mit.edu because I (rather dumbly) deleted the
root entry from the password file.  The machine is
running fine now but I can't log in as root because
I don't know what password was set.  (This is an IBM
machine and seems to maintain the root password locally).

I was out-of-town which is why it has taken me a while 
to get back to you.

Thanks Tom Herring.
