cannot login through console

I am getting following message while trying to connect through console

(throug console switch) to a server

--

server1 console login: root

Warning -- ttymon cannot allocate controlling tty on "/dev/console",

there may be another session active on this port.

It is a security violation to access systems to which you are not

authorized.

server1 console login:

--

after connecting thruogh SSH, I see the following process perhaps

holding the console

server1:/# ps -ef|grep -i console |grep -v grep

root 32851 0 13:51:16 console 0:00 /usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g

-h -p server1 console login: -T sun -d /dev/console -l

What to do in order to be able to connect to the box through console

(switch)?

thanks in advance.

P.S. It is solaris 8
