forgot password

UNIX HP-UX
1

i forgot my password on a HP-UX 9.xx machine. is there a possible way of changing it without knowing the root passwd?
I would do it with a boot disk and chroot but I dont have a boot disk available....

any ideas?

thanks!!

FOR HP-UX
i think only root can set your password to blank
first he has to delete existing passwd for the user
#passwd -d username
#passwd -f username

Or root can use this command ( but check once again with root )

# /usr/sam/lbin/usermod.sam -F -p "" username
