Almost every Sun box comes with a cdrom/dvd-drive nowadays, so you'll be 
able to boot from the Solaris setup cd, mount the necessary slice and 
remove the passwd for root. Reboot and you're in. 5 minutes, tops.
No need to remove the hard drive and mount it in a Linux box, but i 
guess you already knew that Ben  ;-)
