All,
I’m trying to resurrect an AIX workstation that may well contain useful
information for the NASA IMAGE spacecraft.
The system is an IBM RiscSystem/6000 43P-140 according to the badge on
the front (which I think is reasonably accurate).
It’s running a version of AIX from ~1997 or 1998. It does boot to the
GUI login prompt.
Is there a standard procedure for recovering lost passwords for these
systems, or for resetting passwords? I do have physical access to the machine;
it’s possible I can find an AIX install disk but it’s *highly* desirable to
preserve the contents of the existing hard drive.
Apologies in advance if this is posted somewhere obvious, I have not
done my google homework so a pointer may be all I need.
