Lost Password to Debian on PS3. Need help or better documentation for recreating a live-cd
About a year and half or so ago me and a friend set up Debian on a PS3. For a while I could not boot into the ps3 but managed to get it running again. I was very excited to get back in a play on the Debian distro we installed until I found neither of us could remember the password he put on it.
Normally it would be nothing for me to burn another live distro, mount it, and reset the password. But getting a live distro to run on PS3 was a lot of work. Plus, since PS3 removed the "Install Other OS" option, a lot of documentation has disappeared. Most of the documentation left goes to dead links. Some of them I've managed to trace back with thewaybackmachine. I'm still struggling with the hierarchy of the folders to load on the disk though. I know if certain things aren't in specific places and named folders the PS3 won't see it at all.
Any information on how to boot live correctly or retrieve/reset my passwd will be greatly appreciated.

I've forgotten root password on one of Solaris machines, i searched in forumes to find a similar case but there's no proceudre here to reinintialize root password, cause most of related commands & even single user mode needs root password that i don't have.
Any solution would be helpful.

Hi All,
It seems that someone in my organization had changed the root password
on a SCO Openserver 6 box.
Apparently, there are no emergency boot disks. I think they were never

dcsort
DCSORT(1) DICOM PS3 - Make sorted list of images DCSORT(1)
NAME
dcsort - ACR/NEMA DICOM PS3 ... DICOM PS3 - Make sorted list of images
SYNOPSIS
dcsort " inputfile1 [ inputfile2 ... ]" [ -v|verbose ] [ -vv|veryverbose ] [ -vvv|veryveryverbose ] [ -index ] [ -show ] [ -interval ] [
-tolerance mm ] [ -check ] [ -checkFoR ] [ -descending ] [ -sortby|k attributename ]
DESCRIPTION
dcsort reads the named dicom input files and sorts them by the specified sort key.
The sort key should be a single valued numeric attribute, with the exception of ImageOrientationPatient and ImagePositionPatient which are
handled as special cases.
There is no output by default unless the index or verbose options are specified.
OPTIONS
The output and errors go to standard error.
The basic input switches are described in dcintro(1). Options specific to this program are:
-index
Creates a first column of output that is the index in the sort order, starting from 0, and a second column that is the filename.
-show
Show the value of the sort key after the file name with the -index option
-interval
Show the interval between values of the sort key, or an error if not equal
-tolerance mm
The tolerance value in mm to use when comparing intervals between slices; defaults to +/- 0.01 mm if unspecified
-check
Check that all the images are from the same series.
-checkFoR
Check that all the images have the same Frame of Reference (UID).
-descending
Sort in descending, rather than the default ascending, order.
-sortby|k attributename
Specify attributename as the sort key.
ENVIRONMENT
EXAMPLES
% dcsort -index -sortby SliceLocation ./1/[0-9]*
0 ./1/1
1 ./1/2
