Boot single-user from your install media. When you are asked to mount rpool answer yes. cd /a/etc vi shadow If you don't know vi then it's time to learn. /usr/bin/vimtutor remove root's password to make the entry look like this: root::6445:::::: Do *not* remove any colons! Now remove the DVD and reboot the system. Root will have a blank password, just hit the Enter key when asked for it. Restore root's password with one you will remember: # passwd root -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
