So, I have an interesting problem. The root password on one of our Sun x4500 machines was changed and never communicated. Now, nobody knows what it is. I have physical access to the machine, but no Solaris installation disc. Is there any way to reset the password, this way?

Any linux/bsd distribution which can mount your drive filesystem should have the same capability.
A FreeBSD liveCD would likely be your best candidate in the absence of the Solaris media. (BSDs support UFS.)
Good luck!
