Dear Sun Managers,
I posted the following question few days ago and thank you
for all the replies. I know that by booting from cdrom and edit
the shadow file will resolve it. However, I remember there is
another way to bypass it. After "boot -s" command is issued,
it will straight away go into # prompt without requesting for
root password. I came across this way 3 years ago but right now I
 couldn't rememeber it. Please share with me if those who out there
have this answer. Thank you.

this can be bypass by I forgot how to do that.

Can someone enlighten me?

TIA.
