You could make a pair of Linux slackware boot/root floppies with the

Might want to check out this bootdisk:

You would likely still have to compile a kernel with MCA and the other
options you'll need, but it has a good set of utilities.

One thing
that may work is build a Linux box
with the support for the Xenix/SysV file
system and try to mount the drive from there
and edit out the password in the password
file.
I've done that before with other Unix
systems...
I'd do that if this wasn't a PS/2 with the funky drive
connections. I don't have another PS/2.
