Typically for those, you boot a distro CD and mount the root partition
and edit the shadow file. Mind you, you don't need the exact version
of Solaris, just something that will run on your machine. Alternatively,
if you have more than one Solaris box, you can mount the root drive
in the other machine, mount, edit, etc.

Interesting approach. I must say that I would never have thought of
it.
