Is there a way to recover a password from an old Sun Sparc10 without a working CDROM drive? I can't find anything online that explains a process of doing so.
Pull the hard drive out of your SS10 and mount it in another machine, mount the root partition on that system and "fix" the etc/passwd there. Or, netboot the machine. Doesn't necessarily have to be with Solaris either - I've used the OpenBSD/sparc install image to recover data from Solaris UFS filesystems. That happens to be a very lightweight method, and you have the option of a boot floppy or netboot (which I use all the time) if you don't have a working CDROM. I'm sure that small working boot images exist for NetBSD and Linux as well, just that this is what I'm familiar with. -- #!/jameel/akari sleep 4800; make clean && make breakfast
