I broke into mine by booting sash and cat-ing the contents of /etc/passwd to
the console, then ran the encrypted password thru john the ripper. Luckily
the password turned out to be exactly that, so j-t-r took about 0.01 seconds
to dictionary attack it.
The principle, however, is sound :)

Anyway, I'm getting the impression that
there's no way to log in to
5.3 without a password (single mode is even pwded). So, anybody
know an exploit or have an IRIX 5.3 CD that they can sell,copy or
loan to me?
Ditto!
I've got a Solid Impact R10000 that I haven't powered up yet and I
suspect I'll be facing the same issue. First, I need to get one of
those monitor cable dongle adapter thingies. :-)
