You could call Novell.  They have a NLM that will allow you to break into that 
server.  They will fax you a release form that needs to be signed by you or 
your boss.  This release just release's Novell from any liability.  You would 
then ftp this nlm from Novell.  When loaded on the server it will give you a 
long key code.  You give that key code to the Novell Tech and he'll give you 
the response code.  You can then create a supervisor account or change the 
password to the existing one.  This is all done while you're on the phone with 
the first person you talk to.  Also one note, you won't get the same key code 
everytime you run the NLM.  So if you need to use it again you'll have to call 
Novell again.

Hope this helps.
