While it's way more fun/productive to run Debian on the machine, you could still recover that hpux install by booting it single user and changing the root password. It's been a while since I've done it, but I think when you tell it to boot that path and it asks "Interact with ISL?" (IPL? something like that) you say yes and then do something like "hpux -s". I think that will get you in without prompting for a root passwd (if not there is some way to do it, just search around).
