This may have the answer. AIX was certainly in version 4 at that
point, so this should work.

All,
I?m trying to resurrect an AIX workstation that may well contain useful
information for the NASA IMAGE spacecraft.
The system is an IBM RiscSystem/6000 43P-140 according to the badge on the front
(which I think is reasonably accurate).
It?s running a version of AIX from ~1997 or 1998. It does boot to the GUI login
prompt.
Is there a standard procedure for recovering lost passwords for these systems, or
for resetting passwords? I do have physical access to the machine; it?s possible I can
find an AIX install disk but it?s *highly* desirable to preserve the contents of the
existing hard drive.
Apologies in advance if this is posted somewhere obvious, I have not done my
google homework so a pointer may be all I need.
