storageworks agent password problems on v5.1 (NOT A or B)

Yes, I know this version of TRU64 was abandoned by HP a long time ago.
Upgrade to 5.1B-3 and/or a newer SWCC agent isn't a possibility for a
little while yet.

My problem is this: I have an ES40 model 1 connected via SCSI to dual
HSZ22s sharing a few storage enclosures. The StorageWorks agent is
running on the box and I can see it perfectly from the StorageWorks
console running on a Windows host. I've added some storage to one of
the enclosures and the agent has detected it because it's displayed on
the command console just as you might expect.

I cannot, however, create a logical drive because the agent on the ES40
in question has been password protected and the old admin is long gone.
I suppose I could connect serially to the controller and try the old
"decraid" default to see if I can get in, but I don't really want to
drive to the hardware to do that. Is there a file somewhere that
contains the password I can vi and change (I have root access to the
box; file mod permissions not an issue). I searched around inside the
/opt/hp/svctools stuff but nothing readily presented itself. If there's
an easy way to just remove the password, that's ok too. No one can get
to the storageworks command console that isn't supposed to anyway
(famous last words, I know). FWIW, SWCC 2.1. Thanks!
