You can probably boot a Linux recovery disk and mount the Solaris root

Evening
folks,
Today I was given a Sun Enterprise Ultra 2 but the machine's been out of use
for so long nobody can remember anything about it, which is handy. Googling
tells me I need a Solaris install CD to change the root password....bummer
since I don't have one.
I'm a VAX/Alpha guy, if I want to break a system it's relatively easy but I
know nothing about Suns......
It's running SunOS 5.7 if that's any help....
'boot -s' from the OpenBoot prompt might get you into single user, or did
they finally start requiring a password by default for that.
