Hi all. I was recently gifted this machine but as you can probably
ascertain from the subject of this email, it has a forgotten password on
the OS.
Unfortunately I can't find how to get to single user mode. I downloaded
http://www.sysresccd.org/SystemRescueCd_for_Sparc but it doesn't make any
attempt to boot to the cd drive. Is there a startup key/sequence I need to
hit, or is my only option to pull the drive and slave it to another
machine. I don't have anything with SCSI setup yet but if that's the route
I have to take then so be it.
Does dropping to openboot and boot cdrom -s not work? (I'm not familiar
with the SPARCSTATION 20. Please correct me if I'm wrong)
