Operating Systems Solaris Failed to recover root password in Solaris 10 on Sparc CPU Sun Ultra10 Post 302627557 by jlliagre on Friday 20th of April 2012 06:13:10 PM

That should have been:
Code:
chroot /a passwd root

You might also create a regular (non root) user account and see if you can login with it. Perhaps is there some logic that prevent root login in a graphic environment (which is a poor practice anyway).
Can you switch to non graphic mode and see if you can login from there ?
