Problems with PAM

Hello,

A client, at someone else's' urging, configured PAM to run on an Octane2
in hopes of achieving more stringent password controls. You guessed it,
they didn't configure PAM before rebooting the machine and now they are
locked out. Are there any methods (short of a system rebuild, please)
for accessing the system in order to configure or temporarily disable PAM?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Steve
