I ran into a similiar problem as the person who donated a sparc to my
group, did not provide a prom password.  My understanding is that there
are a few options:
	1. Get the password from someone who knows it. (this is what I did)
	2. Boot off a disk that you can gain root on and use the eeprom command to
		change/reset the password.
	3. Replace the prom.

I haven't done any work with sparc hardware so there may be other options
I don't know of.
