Reseting firmare password

Firmware password ?

The one that is set into the OBP of your computer's systemboard ?

Nope. You'll need to buy a replacement IDPROM.

There's no quick-trick workaround, such as for a PeeCee.

See Chapter #3 in the OBP 4.x Command Reference Manual.

Solaris Operating Environment password for the root user's account ?

Dig out your Solaris installation CD's and then search the forum and search Google.

Keywords will be "solaris root password.".

Edit:

Though this topic applies to all of Sun's SPARC systems,

Your Sunblade 100 is not a SERVER.

The question would have been better placed in the other forum.

The SB100 a low-end desktop workstation that just runs and runs and runs ...

... served me very well in a past incarnation as a Sun support Engineer.

No.

Your password on the Sunblade 100 has been written to the IDPROM on its systemboard.

It is in FIRMware, not in software.

It has not been written to any place on the disk drives.

Call Sun. Open a support case.

Expect to have to pay for a replacement IDPROM.

This isn't a condition that a warranty or a service contract would cover.

There's no malfunction of hardware or software.

The component design is acting exactly as it is supposed to behave.

(Go read that chapter in the OBP manual link in my first response.)

Then go create a company policy for this circumstance, for the future.
