I'd suggest you interrupt the boot loader (grub? grub2?) and add "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel options, then just boot on. You'll get a bash in root from where the first thing to do is "passwd". then just reboot the box and you can get root via "su" and the password.
ok, this sounds like an easy solution :) I have personally never tried it, though. as an alternative, you could boot from a live CD which has jfs support built in, such as http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-de_Uebersicht Werner

I am very confused but this does not work. I took a different machine running 10.04 trinity. It has only a root partion with jfs on it.
So when I boot with my virtual 10.04 Cd and then try to mount via
mount -t jfs /dev/sda5 /tmp2
Or what ever mount complains:
"wrong fs type or bad superblock":
the usual message of mount when something is wrong.
I have also on /dev/sda1 a windows partion with ntfs. This one I can mount. So I am stuck.
There must be something very elementary which I miss, but what?
Thanks
