At a local Goodwill I picked up the following:
A Sun external tape drive PN 595-1711-01 model 411.
A Sun SPARCserver 20 model 544 with 2-20gig HD's, 256 MB memory and loaded
with software but I have no password to login with.
A Sun SPARCstation 10 model 144 can't get it to boot up.
A Sun type 6 keyboard.
A Burroughs desk top computer power supply external black brick.

hey Keys, if memory serves me correctly, on some "hacking" site I passed by
a year ago, I recall seeing something of mention on SPARCserver
backdoors/admin overrides. I'll look to see if I can find the site again,
it may help you get back in without having to beat the machine to hell out
of frustration, grin.

Best way is to boot single-user from the install CD, mount the root
filesystem, and edit relevant password files. Breaking in without the
CD is a serious PITA.

Easiest way without a CD is to install the root drive into another
Sun box, mount it and edit the shadow file. :-)
There's other techniques if the NVRAM has a password and the boot
device is set to something you don't have (like those $5 SPARCclassics
I got from the university the year before last - had to set up a
network boot to get them up and running to use the eeprom command to
clear the password).
