If using 10baseT, try using a cross-cable to connect the server directly to
the workstation. If this solves the communication problem between the
server and workstation, then something on the network is causing the
problem.
Admin Account Has Been Deleted or Admin Password
Is Unknown
There is only one solution when the Admin account has been deleted or the
Admin password has been lost: contact a Novell Support Provider for
assistance.
To avoid losing the Admin account, we recommend that you create one or
more additional user accounts with the same privileges as the Admin account.
IMPORTANT: Do not assign privileges to the additional accounts by setting up
security equivalence with Admin. The accounts will lose security equivalence if
Admin is deleted.
