| On one of the our machine (Sun Blade 100), the root password was lost
due to a unhappy sysadmin who left the company.
Is that anywhere that I can reset the passwd without re-install the
whole thing?

Ask your company's lawyer to ask the xemp for the company's password.

boot from cdrom & mount the / partition, change it in the passwd (or
shadow) file.
