You have to boot from a CD and floppy, then edit the file /etc/passwd and remove the “x” found on the line where the user root is defined. You could also move the HD onto another QNX4 machine and install it as a slave HD.

It should be possible to reinstall the server without erasing stuff, but its rather risky and you need to know what you are doing. I dont recommend it.
