Need help installing Solaris 10

Hello expert,
I installed solaris 10 on my Ultra 2 box a few months back, for learning purposes, then I stopped using it. NOW I FORGOT ALL THE PASSWORD, INCLUDING ROOT PASSWORD.
I want to resintall solaris 10, but how do i get to the ok prompt if I don't remember the root password?
Please let me know if there is any other way that I can reinstall solaris from scratch.
thanks for all your help

This question is asked in these forums about every six weeks.
It's answered every time.
Most of the answers are finally....
Use Google.
search with solaris root password
see 2 milion results from such a search
the information isn't a secret
(you won't need to go beyond the first page of search results.)
Google does indeed work for this issue.
Oh, and have your OS installation CD's ready.
You'll need them to repair your computer.
... and yes, you can repair it without reinstalling anything.

  • NEWBIE NEED HELP INSTALLING SOLARIS 8

    I have a Sparc 20 workstation and having difficulty setting the OS. I have download the installation CD and the 2 software CDs. During the installation, when it gets to the kiosk, there should be a welcome screen asking to insert the first software cd. I have never get to this point. All I receive is a warning. If and when I reboot the sparc, the following error shows " time out waiting for ARP and RARP packet.

    Thnx for all the help guys. After reading through the forum, I have managed to solve my issue. This is how I install the Solaris 8 on my sparc 20 workstation.
    1. Put in the "First Software CD". Don't network it yet, do it after the installation.
    "NOTE: IGNORE THE INSTALLATION CD."
    2.Reboot the machine.
    3. If the OS does not boot up, type boot disk1 and press enter
    4. Type in root and password on login screen
    5. Put in the "Second Software CD" when prompted." If the second cd does not read, follow the instruction and select REBOOT.
    6. Once the machine reboot, double click on the CDROM drive and install the 2nd Software CD.
    Once you do these 6 steps, all is done. Now you just go back and configure it to a server.

    Hello,
    Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
    Your computer comes with Win 8 pre-installed but one of the steps to install/run Windows 8.1 is having updated drivers for Windows 8.1
    Please, go to Control Panel -> System (or Start -> type winver and open) and verify what is your current version - if it is Windows 8 or 8.1
    Windows 8 is version  6.2.x
    Windows 8.1 is version  6.3.x
    If Windows 8 in place, then , please read this article and enroll in the steps:

  • Need help installing Snow Leopard.

    Need help installing Snow Leopard on a 2009 iMac. Hard drive is only choice for location and message says hard drive can't be used because it is used for Time Machine backups. Ultimate goal is to upgrade to OS 10.6.8.

    Check to see if you have a file called backup.backupdb
    If you do that means at some time in the past Time Machine was configure to backup to that drive
    If that is not where you want your backup to to go, and it should not be stored there any way, then delete it and the install should work then.

  • Need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based

    I need help need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based so if u kno how pls message me thanks
    <Email Edited by Host>

    You need to purchase the upgrade disk (it is a DVD). Then just put it in and run the installer. When it was first released it was $29 USD, do not know if the price has changed or not.
    The usual precautions about backing up your data apply. In fact I would recommend either making a Disk Image of your current boot drive or using something like Carbon Copy Cloner to copy it to an external drive. I upgraded 5 machines from Leopard to Snow Leopard without any issues, but better to be safe than sorry.

  • Need help Installing Flash player 10.3 for firefox. It stops at 50%

    So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use."  I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working. I even  uninstall google chrome thinking it was the problem but I'm still having that problem so I really don't know what to do because now the only place Flash player is installed seems to be Google chrome that I had to redoawload, but everywhere else tells me that I need to install it.

  • Need help installing Adobe Pro 9 Product code [removed by moderator] to my new PC tower.

    Need help installing Adobe Pro 9 to my new PC.

    Hi albertc40027908,
    You might need to deactivate Acrobat 9 from your old machine.
    Then, install the software from a CD (if you have) and activate with the same serial number.
    If you don't have a CD, then you might install Acrobat 9 pro from the below mentioned link:
    Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
    Hope this helps.

  • I need help installing flash on windows 8

    I need help installing flash on windows 8

    Chris… No I was using the desktop version, I cannot stand the M version, guess it would be nice if I had  a touch screen..…when I finally got my computer to download the Acrobat Standard XI program, not sure how it worked, but I think it had something to do with Windows 8 not allowing itself to update all my apps and programs, even though my computer was set to automatically update any Windows/Microsoft updates…finally I got my Windows updates done, it downloaded like 36 files…and then I had to restart,(which also could have been playing a factor)…so finally got the program downloaded on Windows 8…but then I tried to run the new program and it says install serial #...so I assume that it was asking for the serial # for the Acrobat Standard XI…finally after googling the web, I found somebody that said try your older serial # from the previous program, and when I did this it finally works.. you would think with a brand new Windows computer I would have no problem installing Windows Updates…somebody needs to make a sticky about this, I am sure I am not the only one haiving this problem..
