Maintainance mode should also do - probably reached using a key on the computer.

Otherwise what AIX version ?  Can you log on as some non-root user ?

Hi bozo99,

Thank you for the comment, I don't know the version and I can't seem
to find it.  According to the web site, I need the media and I don't
have that either.

Any ideas?

What is the output from the commands "uname -a" and "oslevel" ?

Hello Bozo99,

I have no access at all.. No media.

What do you recommend?

Why not say more about how you obtained the error message ?    If you
can't even tell the AIX version I think you need to talk to your
technical support bods.
