I would think this has good value to it. $14,000 is way out of the question, but check out other models if you can find them as a reference. I've never messed around much on a solaris system, so I'm just assuming it's the same as other linux/unix machines.
Solaris is a unix variant which is kind of similar to DOS. You can create a boot disk, and then go into the directory /etc.
There is a file there called "shadow". Use the built in text editor vi to edit it. Delete the line with the root password on it. Save, and reboot.
When you restart, I believe it should prompt you for a new password.
edit: That's not exactly what has to be done word for word. I believe that you need to "mount" (load) the main disk after you start from the boot disk. I'm sure there is a tutorial somewhere on this.
