Do you have a Solaris CD? If so, i would connect a pc/terminal program to the serial port and get a console. Then issue a stop-A (i think ctrl-brk-A, depends on term program), put in the Solaris cd, then do 'boot cdrom -s'. After that, fsck and mount the root fs (/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0?? i'm rusty on solaris device names), vi etc/shadow and remove the root password. save, unmount, reboot, and you should be good. > Yes... Sun uses UFS. In my opinion your best bet is what you say > here... get the hard drive and read using another Sun or PC. I hate messing with hardware, so i'd try booting from cdrom first... JMHO of course. ray -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
