1. Insert the Solaris 2.x media in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Once the media is in the CD-ROM drive, press the stop -a command
(Press the stop button
and the letter "a" at the same time.
3. At the OK prompt, type boot cdrom -s ( the letter s stands for single mode).
4. After the OS cycle thru the devices, it will come to
the # sign. Type the following command:
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 /a
The /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 assume is the cdrom address
5. From the root prompt type in this command:
# TERM=sun; export TERM
6. Next edit the /etc/shadow file:
# vi /a/etc/shadow
7. I believe the first line of the file is the one you need to modify. It should look like this:
root:hfN8E.8mRm7gE:10912::::::
daemon:NP:6445::::::
bin:NP:6445::::::
sys:NP:6445::::::
adm:NP:6445::::::
lp:NP:6445::::::
uucp:NP:6445::::::
nuucp:NP:6445::::::
listen:*LK*:::::::
nobody:NP:6445::::::
noaccess:NP:6445::::::
nobody4:NP:6445::::::
8. You want to delete every character between the first
and second colons. When you are finish it
should look like this:
root::6445: : : : : :
9. After you make the changes do:
:wq!
10. The next step is to unmount the file system.
# cd /
# umount /a
11. Finally reboot the system by issuing the command:
init 6
12. When the OS comes back it prompt you for a new password.
