Sun Fire V100 LOM password recovery...

Hi Gang...

I have inherited a couple of Sun Fire V100's from a former employee
which are in some unknown state of assembly. I know they have not been
used at all in production as they were still in testing only state.
They power up but do not boot (that is, I do not get any of the serial
console messages from Serial B). In addition I do not know any network
setup so I can not wait and hope and remotely logon. I do get a LOM
prompt (on A LOM port) but it is a logon prompt requiring a password of
which any possible password does not work. I have even tried the S/N of
the machines. I would assume that they still have Solaris 9 on them but
since they do not boot I do not know. The exact hardware is a 100-7270
(Hummingbird) 500MHz Ultra IIe.

My question: is there any way I can get around the logon LOM and get to
a lom> prompt?

Unfortunately google has not turned up much at all on Sun Fires. I am
hoping that someone will know a jumper/on/off sequence as a work around.

Thanks for the help!
-Luke
