Just ask for a hack, and Franky will find it ...
once you login under mtcl , use su - to become root
Go under /DHS3bin/soft_install/bin and edit the file Swi_Management
Look for
if [ "$this_name" == "ppp" ] || [ "$this_name" == "ccfexc" ]; then
echo Operation not allowed for this account !
iemsg "Operation canceled..." ; return 1
fi
if [ $NAME = 'root' ] || [ $NAME = 'swinst' ] ; then
passwd $NAME
And replace with
if [ "$this_name" == "ppp" ] || [ "$this_name" == "ccfexc" ] || [ "$this_name" == "root" ]; then
echo Operation not allowed for this account !
iemsg "Operation canceled..." ; return 1
fi
if [ $NAME = 'swinst' ] ; then
passwd $NAME
and you won't be able to change root password from swinst !

Re: is it possible to break passwords of su and swinst?
Hi, I have one issue with 'Swinst'.
The 'Swinst user name' and 'password' is accepted/works when connected via console port (V24).
but the same password is not working/takes when connected via Telnet.
Plz reply..

You can use root/swinst account directly only via SSH (or V24).
For telnet connection you cannot use root or swinst account (you will have message about incorrect login/password).
Just connect (telnet connection) with mtcl account. After you can use "swinst" command (with swinst password) for swinst menu or "su" command (with root password) for root privelege.
