Network Password unknown??? solaris 2.8 vs 2.6???

Hello all!!!
We just inherited a sun 220r from another department. The Department doesn't exist any more and we have no way of getting the login password or any account information. The 220r has solaris 2.8 on it and the only version that I have on disk is 2.6.

Question 1: Can I use 2.6 on the sun 220r?

Question 2:How do I recover the account info and use the existing OS?

Question 3: Can I recover the password and how do I do it?

I did a search of all the forums and found many previous postings.

Question 4: How do I get into single user mode. The space bar thing doesn't seem to work? Can this problem be corrected in single user mode?
