Do you mean 9pi.img?

You need to change cmdline.txt on the boot (DOS) partition to
not automatically log in as glenda.

% c:		# this mounts the dos partition
% cd /n/c
% cp cmdline-term.txt cmdline.txt
% fshalt	# wait till it says "done halting"
^T^Tr		# reboot

Now it will prompt you for a user name. Use sys or some other
name from the line starting with adm: in /adm/users.

Just reboot and log in as another user.  See the plan9 wiki
for a more elaborate setup.
