280R serial port

This one's got me stumped. I inherited a SunFire 280R. I can get into the
RSC serial port no problem, but I don't have a username/password (I tried
"admin/admin") to log in and interact with the RSC shell.

Serial A & B are DB-25 ports. I have a DB-25 null modem cable that works
fine on a V880, but no joy here. Is that because "input-device" and
"output-device" are set to "rsc-console"? Am I wasting my time even trying
to get in via Serial A if RSC's been set up?

If "input-device" and "output-device" have been set to "rsc-console," is
there any way to get to the "ok" prompt other than via RSC? How do I boot
the system if I can't even get to the "ok" prompt? I don't mind
reinstalling Solaris; I'm probably going to do so anyways, but how can I
get into this thing?
