I have some questions first:
1. What hardware is this? SPARC or x86? Exact model?
2. Do you know what the root filesystem device node is? /dev/md/????? or /dev/dsk/?????
3. Do you know how the RAID1 was configured? Using raidctl command (hardware RAID controller) or meta commands (software RAID, true SVM)?
4. What filesystem is used, UFS or ZFS?
Recovery of root password is completely different for a UFS filesystem as opposed to a ZFS filesystem.

RECOVER(1) General Commands Manual RECOVER(1)
NAME
recover - recover a deleted file
SYNOPSIS
recover [device] [options]
OPTIONS
-h, --help prints help
-a, --all no filtering; dump all deleted inodes
DESCRIPTION
recover recovers a file which matches some ext2 - info about the deleted inode by getting all the deleted inodes and filtering them. It's
based upon the Ext2Undeletion-howto by Aaron Crane. Using this utility, your chances to recover a lost file should increase a lot.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DELETED FILE
o Hard disk device name
o Year of deletion
o Month of deletion
o Weekday of deletion
o First/Last possible day of month
o Min/Max possible file size
o Min/Max possible deletion hour
o Min/Max possible deletion minute
o User ID of the deleted file
o A text string the file included (can be ignored)
BUGS
Please note that recover does not work with ext3 filesystems, it is strictly ext2-only. For further information on this, please read
/usr/share/doc/recover/README.ext2only
WARRANTY
There is no warranty.
