While it's way more fun/productive to run Debian on the machine, you could
still recover that hpux install by booting it single user and changing the
root password. It's been a while since I've done it, but I think when you tell
it to boot that path and it asks "Interact with ISL?" (IPL? something like
that) you say yes and then do something like "hpux -s". I think that will get
you in without prompting for a root passwd (if not there is some way to do it,
just search around).
