Why crack it when you can just change it?

Now that you have a new toy you may wish to join the [juniper-nsp] list
if you haven't already.

... snip snip ...

Please do the following to recover/reset a JUNOS root password:

        1. Obtain console access
        2. Power off the system and boot it up in single user mode.
            This is done by typing "-s" at the boot: prompt.
        3. Next, the system will do it's normal boot up process.
            When prompted for "pathname" enter:
/usr/libexec/ui/recovery-mode
            This will run a script for password recovery.

             Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:
            /usr/libexec/ui/recovery-mode

        4. The system will finish booting up and put you at a "root>"
prompt
            as such.

                NOTE: the system
                 Starting CLI ...
                 root>

        5. Now you can go into configuration mode and edit or delete
the
            root authentication password.

                      root> configure
                       Entering configuration mode

                  [edit]
                  root# delete system root-authentication
                root# commit and-quit
                 commit complete
                 Exiting configuration mode

        6. Finally, reboot system.

                 root@congo3> request system reboot
                 Reboot the system ? [yes,no] (no) yes
