Any later version of Solaris can be used to boot in single user mode
and mount the system disk in order to modify the hard disks /etc/passwd
file.
You can even download the Soalris inamges from the Sun website and burn
the image on CD or DVD and boot from it.

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've got a couple of versions of Solaris on the shelf here - no idea if
you
need the same version as what's on the disk or not; providing the version
on
the CD understands the filesystem on the disk maybe it'll work...
Can bring over when I come to get the PERQ and drop off those Sirius
disks...
cheers
