I am looking to change the Password on SGI 300 System can't get past opt 5 menu

[j***@get.com]

Unable to get past option 5 asking for PASSWORD. Is there a way to
reset the Password? Does this have something to do with the DALLAS
CHIP storing the Password! Is there a way you can reset it!

Thanks
Joeb

Boot into the IRIX OS and use "nvram" to set a new passwd for the prom.
