to reset the root password.
(It doesn't even have the original keyboard I think)

So, does anyone know how bypass/change/hack the root login or the boot 
process on one of these?
(AFAIK It has SunOS 5.8 or 5.9 installed at the moment)

Marcel,

I am a newbie to Linux so have no idea if it will be of any use but there is a 
piece of software called Super Grub Disk that *may* be of use.

 I managed to hack Windows XP to reset the Admin passwords on a 2nd handlaptop 
I bought and that seemed to have Linux software base. You can get that from 
here:

May also work for SunOS
