I guess I'm not quite sure what you mean by "connect serial terminal to serial port A at 9600,n,8,1" That just went way over my head. If I disconnect the screen, how can I verify it is booting up? This is one of those questions that I know has an obvious answer and am almost embarrased to ask

Lost password on a SPARCstation Voyager

Hi, I got hold of a SUN SPARCstation Voyager today, but I don't have the root password.

UHSOCTL(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						UHSOCTL(1)

NAME
uhsoctl -- connection utility for Option based devices SYNOPSIS
uhsoctl [-a apn] [-c cid] [-p pin] [-u username] [-k password] [-r path] [-f path] [-b | -n] interface uhsoctl -d interface uhsoctl -h DESCRIPTION
uhsoctl is a small connection utility for Option N.V. devices that are based on Options packet interface and uses proprietary AT_* calls to establish connections. The utility (tries to) configure both default route and name servers (/etc/resolv.conf). By default uhsoctl detaches from the terminal upon on a successful connection, a few command-line options exists that allows this behavior to be changed. uhsoctl attempts to find a usable controlling serial port based on the provided network interface. If this fails you might specify a serial port manually. OPTIONS
-a apn Specify APN to connect to. -c cid Specify CID (Context ID) to use, by default CID 1 is used. If an APN has been configured once, it's enough to specify the CID used for further accesses. -p pin Specify SIM PIN. -u username Specify username. -k password Specify username. -r path Path to resolv.conf, default /etc/resolv.conf. Use /dev/null to disable updating of name servers. -f path Explicitly set the serial port to use as controlling terminal. Might be needed if the automatic detection fails. -b Fork into background directly, before a connection has been established. -n Never fork into background, run entirely in foreground. EXAMPLES
Connect to ``apn.example.com'' on interface ``uhso0'' and use PIN ``1234'' to enable the SIM card. uhsoctl -a apn.example.com -p 1234 uhso0 Disconnect from a previously established connection. uhsoctl -d uhso0 SEE ALSO
