AT&T UNIX PC - Need to hack user/password for access

There are lists to be found via google. If it's a 3B1 running AT&T System V, then I'm almost positive there were some very popular default accts that had to be removed -- most people didn't and resulted in many machines being vulnerable. Also, don't know anything about the file system, but if it's a common one, you could potentially (and carefully) install the HD into a linux box, mount it, retrieve /etc/passwd, and crack the sucker. With today's machines you might be able to brute-force the keyspace, or worst case, put a pretty good dictionary attack on it. HTH Keith
