Alan,
it was February last year (2018), probably Feb 1 - Feb. 3.
The short story for how to do this is presented at:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1000366
I did need to obtain an IBMid to read the web page completely, and I
started with a CD labelled “AIX V4.2.1 for 5765-C34”. As you will see if you
read the thread, subject "Password reset for ~1998 AIX on RS/6000?”, other
alternatives exist, but this was all I needed.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need any other pointers.
