If you have a scsi drive you might try hanging it on a clone and mounting
the partion under linux. You could then edit the passwd file in etc and
gain access by simply deleting the coded password for ROOT.

I am thinking about the same problem with a SUN box and that is the most
likely I think so far.

Basicly you need to boot single-user which disables all security and
destroy the root password.
