  Hi all.  I was recently gifted this machine but
as you can probably
 ascertain from the subject of this email, it has a forgotten password on
 the OS.
 Unfortunately I can't find how to get to single user mode.  I downloaded
 
http://www.sysresccd.org/SystemRescueCd_for_Sparc but it doesn't make 
 any
  attempt to boot to the cd drive.  Is there a
startup key/sequence I need 
 to
  hit, or is my only option to pull the drive and
slave it to another
 machine. I don't have anything with SCSI setup yet but if that's the 
 route
  I have to take then so be it.
 
 boot -s at the openboot prompt should do (the machine could be
 configured with a password protected prom prompt.)
 
STOP A was what I needed thanks.  It tried to boot from the CD but errored
out with
SILO Version 1.4.13
Illegal Instruction
