Boot in single user mode:

interrupt the bootsequence from console (going to ISL).
Type "hpux -is" or "boot -is" (depends on your system).
After booted in singleuser mode, you can use "passwd" to change it.

Succes,

Hi,

If your system is not in trusted mode just boot to ISL and change the root psssword.
