[SPARCbook] Root password

[Ken Hansen]

I believe it is called "shift lock" - or so I've been led to believe from
*others*
who report such silly mistakes...

Can you get to the OpenBoot PROM? If so, try boot -s (is it? I've been in
Linux
land all weekend) and that should bring up the system singleuser, then
passwd
*might* let you change the password, if not - you will have to remove the
old
one by hand (/etc/shadow?)...

Good luck, hope this helps,

Ken
