My partner rented a Sun Sparkstation Ultra -- with Sun OS v2.5 (I think)
-- yesterday (Friday) at 5pm. We got it back to the office and were happy
to see that it booted, and cheerfully ... asked for a login name and
password.

The rental guy didn't even mention that we'd need a login or pw, and
they're closed for the weekend. We're Windows and Mac people (developing a
demo CD to run on all three) and just want to try our CD on this system.
We desperately need to get this system going and try the software this
weekend.

Is there a default login and password that is shipped with these systems
before the sysadmin changes them (which all good admins should do, I
assume)?

I hesitate to request sensitive information such as this in such a public
forum, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Therefore, please
respond only by direct e-mail.

I must apologize for splaying this posting over so many groups --
something I never do, usually -- but we're frantic.

Any assistance provided will add your name to my nightly prayers :)

Thanks.

Enjoy,
Dave
