Evening folks,
Today I was given a Sun Enterprise Ultra 2 but the machine's been out of use
for so long nobody can remember anything about it, which is handy. Googling
tells me I need a Solaris install CD to change the root password....bummer
since I don't have one.
It's running SunOS 5.7 if that's any help....
Boot from another root partition (hence the value of having
"that CD" :> ), mount the partition in question and manually
hack passwd(5)?
You can't get to (S)ingle user on the partition in question
without the root password. So, get to single user on some
partition that you *can*! :>
