One way is to netboot from a root you can write to. Note that what you
really need are the /etc/*.db files; passwd and master.passwd are mostly
unused except by vipw(1).

It's probably easier to just:

	[ get to the SRM >>> prompt, possibly by hitting the reset button
	and maybe by typing lots of ^C keys if AUTO_ACTION is BOOT ]

	>>> b -fl s
	...
	$ fsck -p
	$ halt
	...
	>>> b -fl s
	...
	$ mount -a
	$ EDITOR=ed vipw
	1s/:[^:]*:/::/
	w
	q
	$ umount -a
	$ exit
