dmc> ANYONE:

dmc> I have a huge problem.  Our systems admin at my work went nuts and locked
dmc> us out of our BSD 5.0 server.  He has disabled anyone's su privs. 
dmc> Additionally, we cannot boot into single user mode without entering the
dmc> root password.  How can I get around this without losing any data on the
dmc> server?

dmc> ARGH!,
dmc> Daniel

Take the HDD out of the server , hook it up to another Computer, mount it there,
change the files which hold passwords, put it back into the server,
boot.
