I had this experience with a Tadpole N40, running AIX 3.
I simply DD'ed the drive, took the image...
$ strings aix-machine.img | grep root:
...to get the password line.
Dump that into a passwd file and run john (the password cracker utility) on
it for a couple days.
I don't think Linux can
I like the idea of creating an image before something could screwup what is
on the disk.

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
This may have the answer. AIX was certainly in version 4 at that
point, so this should work.
