Are you meaning the system processor password (SC>) or the operating system 'root' password?

And.....do you have Solaris up and running on the box? If so, which version?

Do you have Solaris up and running on this box?

If so, there is a command which will allow you to manipulate SC parameters from there - 'scadm'

This command usually lives at:

Code:
/usr/platform/$(uname-i)/sbin/scadm

Start with:

Code:
# scadm help

and

Code:
# scadm show

Read the man page, you can change the SC> password.

If you don't have Solaris running it makes it a little more difficult.

Does the machine have a DVD drive and do you have Solaris OS media (DVD)?
