Hello
I'm new to UNIX and I was given this old SPARC station IPC, running SunOS
4.1.3
The problem is - I don't know the root password.
Is there ANY way to login?
Please HELP!
Thank you in advance,
Gene

Don't have the cdrom?
Get it!
Maybe time to upgrade anyway...I believe Sun will ship you Solaris 2.6
or 7.0 for around 10 bucks. They'll give it away free (eventually).
Just go to the website.
Cheers,
Dave
Oh Yeah,
at the ok prompt, type
boot cdrom -s
to boot into single user mode.
Then mount the hard disk root partition as /a and vi the /a/etc/shadow
file to set root's password to null (no text or anything between the
::).
then reboot and login as root with no password.
Cheers,
Dave

type "boot -s"
this will drop you into root without password.
then type "passwd"
and change the passwd
