      Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: 

   7.Mount the virtual file systems .(Note that it is not necessary to mount the jbase package ;however the other packages still need to be mounted):

       Note:To go to multi-user operation,exit the sing-user shell(with ctrl+D )

       # cd /packages

       # ./mount jbase

       Mounted jbase package on /dev/vn1...

 我用的是一台现网中的核心高端路由器MX 960做的。。。

1.重启MX960，通过console线（RJ-45转DB9接口）连到路由器

2.当出现下面的提示时，快速按下空格键（有时候设置的等待时间不一样）

         Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or space bar for command prompt.

         Booting [/kernel] in 5 second...

3.让其自动加载，当出现下面提示时，输入：（空格）boot  -s
          Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.

OK    

4.回车；然后输入：recovery 回车，让其自动启动。。。。

   启动过程中会提示缺少或无法在指定默认目录下找到系统密码所在db文件，所以要手动创建；上面有创建方法和相应的操作步骤

5.进入恢复模式：

    # /user/libexec/ui/recovery-mode

6.创建新的管理密码：

    。。。

    。。。（上面有操作方法和步骤。。不详述）

7.保存配置，退出。。。

8.重启系统，即可完成密码破解。。
