You don't need a support contract to view that - get a Check Point cert, and you can view the advanced level articles.

That aside, password recovery has been covered here many times.

Boot off a RH recovery CD, and edit /etc/passwd so that admin uses /bin/bash, rather than cpshell.

Assuming you know admin's password, boot up, login as admin, then run passwd, to set the expert password.

If you also don't know the admin password, you need to edit it out of /etc/shadow, then run \passwd admin when you boot up and login with a blank password.

Not a huge amount different to a standard Unix password recovery procedure. admin's password is in /etc/shadow, the expert password is in /boot/grub.conf
