The age-old trick is boot to single user mode, then change the password with
the passwd command.
As I recall on HP-UX, during the boot process you'll see a line about "init
something something"... I believe you hit space here, then type the same
init line but append "-s" to designate going to single user. If this totally
vague and possibly inaccurate email doesn't help, let me know and I'll go
boot up a box to refresh my memory.
