Operating Systems Solaris Found a Sun Ultra 10 Elite3D workstation, and it boots to a login screen. How can I reset the OS? Post 302837769 by jlliagre on Friday 26th of July 2013 04:58:06 PM

I wouldn't recommend installing Solaris 10 on a 440MHz/768 MB server. That would be at best a disappointing and painful experience.

You'd rather instead find a SPARC bootable CD, any release, run a shell from it then mount the internal disk and clear root and other user's password.

The textinstall-134-sparc.iso image available here or martux here should work.
