Did you try "Root"? I got lucky with a couple of the drives that I picked up and found that they didn't have a password setup for the root directory. From what I hear, HPs are just about impossible to break into if they have a password installed.
FWIW I picked a HP 7958B hard drive from a scrap place yesterday. According to the stickers on it it came from NASA KSC and was used on a unix system (in other words HP-UX). But I checked the drive today and it has a fault. It spins up but then spins down and the fault light comes on. Oh well, better luck next time. Also found a HP 9888 expansion chassis. I haven't checked it yet but it looks like it's in decent condition.
