Hello Managers.

I have a situation very particular.

An ultra system with the root's password lost.
The system doesnt have a monitor or a keyboard so I can login only using
the serial port.

What I want is to get a shell using the Solaris 9 installation media in
that serial port in order to mount the hard drive and edit the shadow
file.

Simple question.. how can I do it?

Regards
