Operating Systems Solaris Is it ALOM password I am stuck with? SunFire V100

Correct. V100 has CD-ROM. No DVD-ROM and no floppy. I am looking into using my SUSE laptop as a boot server that would serve the LiveCD image to V100 from where I would eventually be able to edit /etc/shadow file. The laptop however has SLED and not SLES on it. In lieu of that, I'd try serving the boot image via virtualized Solaris (VirtualBox) within Windows host.
Any suggestions beside getting the ISO burned on CD are warmly welcomed Smilie

Network boot guides that I read all talk about editing files on clients, but I don't have access to anything beyond login prompt. So network boot isn't an option then?

If you have the ISO image, you can mount it and then share it:
Code:
# mount -F hsfs -o ro `lofiadm -a /path/to/your/image.iso` /mnt
# share /mnt
