	I don't know if the following solution works for you, but in a
SUN machine you boot in single user mode and the machine gives you
the root prompt without asking you for the password (of course,
this works if the C2 security level is not installed).
	It is to say, try to boot your machine in singl;e user mode
and good luck...

P.S. If your machine is connected to a network,
maybe you can do a "rlogin" as root from other
machine that has a hosts.equiv or .rhosts entry
giving free access to the root of that
machine
