Reuse old/configured server for new purpose problems.

Greetings.

First of all I consider myself a newbe in Linux, that's why I'm seeking your help so please be patient!

I was given an old server (Solaris) that has Oracle (10.2.0) installed with a few databases. I'm supposed to reuse this server for this new application which will process data and create reports with a web interface (so Ill have to install tomcat,glassfish etc..)

My problems:

1. The server has been previously configured for something else, so I have no password for Oracle.
2. I thought of reinstalling Oracle but I have no idea how because of the way things have been partitioned

Code:

3. I will need to maximize space for the application since I theres q requirement of 400GB+

4. I really really really want to avoid wiping the server and configuring from scratch...

What are your thoughts of this? What approach should I take? If you need more information let me know...

Thanks in advance

CTL_CYRUSDB(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    CTL_CYRUSDB(8)

 *

NAME

       ctl_cyrusdb - perform operations common to all Cyrus databases

SYNOPSIS

       ctl_cyrusdb [ -C config-file ] -r [ -x ]
       ctl_cyrusdb [ -C config-file ] -c

DESCRIPTION

       Ctl_cyrusdb is used to perform various administrative operations on the Cyrus databases.

       Ctl_cyrusdb  reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.  The configdirectory option is
       used to determine the default location of the Cyrus databases.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
	      Read configuration options from config-file.

       -r     Recover the databases after an application or system failure.  Also performs database cleanup  like  removing  mailbox  reservations
	      (and any associated mailbox files).

       -x     Used with -r to recover the database only.  (Prevents database cleanup).

       -c     Checkpoint  and archive the databases.  Changes to the database which are part of committed transactions are written to disk.  Also,
	      a hot backup of the databases is made and inactive log files are removed.

FILES

       /etc/imapd.conf
