Thanks to all those who responded so quickly to my dilemma: the short answer to the problem of lost or forgotten password on root account in ESIX is to boot off the floppies - when the second floppy finishes, it asks if you want to recover. Answer yes, and it resets the password files (and some others) to a virgin status while renaming all old files.
