MGMT5. I've forgotten the SYSTEM password - what can I do?
It sounds like the problem is your disk has filled up as a result of the
log files having not been PURGE'd. So you'll need to find your logs and do
something like:
PURGE OPERATOR.LOG
Which reminds me I still need to automate purging the SMBD_STARTUP.LOG's on
my server....
