Easiest way is to attach the drive to a comparable machine running
a Ultrix that you know the password too. Mount it, edit /etc/passwd,
umount it, and re-install.
You can edit the raw sector containing the root password using
console commands, then write it back out if you can fake MSCP...
Or maybe B/1 DUA0 will work... It depends if the version of Ultrix
is old enough to allow root boot without password prompt or not...

I snagged a PDP11/53 and Two MicroVAX II's today at the salvage yard. $5 a

The MV's have Ultrix on them and boot fine BUT.....
Is there an easy way to bust the root password for Ultrix on the console?
Thanks,
