rhfrommn:

Thanks for your advice. I hvae tried to put solaris 10 disc 1 into CDrom. It didn't show any ok prompt. The system told me these information:

/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 is not okay.
Mount: please run fsck and try again
failed to open /etc/coreadm.conf Cannot create /dev/fb:
INIT: cannot create /var/adm/utmpx
INIT: failed write of utmpx entry: " "
INIT: Single user mode.

The system asked me to press ctrl -d to run in normal mode or provide root password for maintenance. I have no password. Then I press ctrl + d. Then system asked me to choose 0-6 or s or S for running mode. I choose s or S or 3. It all failed to boot into single user mode and to run fsck to fix file system.

It seems that you couldn't mount the file system and boot the system up running if you don't have root password. Any suggestions or the way to work around to solve the problem. Thanks.
