Well, if all else fails you can pull the disk and put it on another
machine (not necessarily a NeXT), mount the filesystem there, and do
things like bash on root's password.

In principle, that is. Doing this demands software support on the
"another machine" that may not be at ready hand. But it's how I'd be
inclined to handle it.
