Breaking into my system

I am now the proud (?) owner of a pc/rt which has all sorts of
documentation, monitors, keyboards, and other stuff which I have
not yet begun to unpack. Seems to be a pretty cool system.

The problem is that the previous owner set passwords on all the
login id's. I can't get past the login:. I booted the system
with the installation/maint diskette and followed the instructions
in the "Managing the Operating System" manual to mount all the hd*'s
to gain access to the "users" command to change the su password.
Unfortunately I get the "Shared library: sharsys.0202 cannot be mapped"
error message when I try to execute it.

What (short of rebuilding the system from diskettes) should I do?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Jim
