Time to buy a new chip! *sigh* You don't know when to give up, do you ? What does forgetting the prom password on a sparc have to do with your incorrect comment on screwing up root's password entry on a Solaris box ? Oh, and you're incorrect again. You can remove a lost PROM password without replacing the PROM, assuming you have physical access which you'd have to have to replace it. Some are easier than others and the easier ones depend on other settings in the prom, but it can be done in several ways. The NVRAM FAQ lists some of them; http://www.squirrel.com/squirrel/sun-nvram-hostid.faq.html Quit wasting time and bandwidth arguing about things you don't know enough about on inappropriate lists ?
