[GLLUG] root passwd recovery AIX 3

[Caleb Cushing]

unfortunately we do not have the original media, and I belive it uses 5"
floppies, I'm not sure if it's capable of 3.5" or not. This machine belongs
to a friend of mine. It was given to him. If anyone has an Idea on how to
get there hands on the original disks... or make them....
