Using physical access, you can try key-combinations like CTRL-ALT-ENT, 
CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE ... to log in without passwort.
I had a simelar problem with a appliance. No password was acceted. And 
no chance to use a floppy/Cd- drive. But typing CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE did a 
log in.
May be the ventor assumes that physical access is not availible to 
foreingns to such systems..
