There are a few easy ways to do this.

(1) Build a boot floppy. Boot off the boot disk.
Mount the systems disks. Edit the password file.

(2) Take out the hard disks. Mount them on another
system. Edit the password file.

When you have physical access to the machine, getting
access to it is easy because of the examples above.

NAME
nwvolinfo - Diplay info on NetWare Volumes SYNOPSIS
nwvolinfo [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -v volume ] [ -N ] DESCRIPTION
nwvolinfo displays information on a NetWare Server Volume. nwvolinfo looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa- tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons. OPTIONS
-h -h is used to print out a short help text. -S server server is the name of the server you want to use. -U user user is the user name to use for login. -P password password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwvolinfo prompts for a password. -n -n should be given if no password is required for the login. -C By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C. -v volume The volume name to be used. Defaults to 'SYS'. -N Display the information in numeric-only format for use in a pipe. AUTHORS
nwvolinfo was written by Jacek Stepniewski <cunio@gazeta.pl> based on utilities by Volker Lendecke. nwvolinfo 7/9/1996 NWVOLINFO(8)
