I got a old server that came from another company and nobody knows root password.
Server is SCO OpenServer 5.0.5
with DPT PM2022A/9X controller with CM4000 tow hard drives 4G and 1G (So i assume it cannot be raid). I already tried to mount this hard drives on a OpenServer 5.0.6 machine with Adaptec 29160 controller but divvy does not see the file system on any of this tow drives. I went thru the motions with mkdev hd and kernel relink, reboot, mkdev hd again.
With other words followed SCO procedure to add a SCSI hard drive, but like i said no success. (divvy does not see any HTFS partitions or any other file system).
So I decided to install Openserver on new HD on the same old machine to be able to mount old hard drives this way or there is a possibility of breaking out of installation and mount root file system and change passwd and shadow files than.
But my dilemma is that this old machine does not have even a CD-ROM attached to it. So I need put one on and probably another HD. But I suspect that I will need to reconfigure PM2022A/9x controller by using DPT storage manager which I don't have.
So here are my questions:
1) Is it possible to read old hard drives (DPT PM2022A/9x) on a new system (Adaptec 29160 controller) without installing PM2022A/9x controller (can't do no EISA)?
2) Do I need to reconfigure PM2022A/9x controller to add new devices?
3) Does anybody have link to the right version of DPT storage manager?
4) Any other suggestions how to get root password?
