Secure Platform is linux based, so you can apply any bit modified linux
password recovery procedure. You have to do following:
  - boot from some Linux CD into rescue/fixit/emergency shell,
  - mount / partition somewhere
  - reset/change password for maintenance mode in /etc/grub.conf
  - restart system in maintenance
  - change password of user root and admin by passwd util. to something
you would like.
  - edit /etc/shadow, remove char "!" from the begining of password string
of user root
  - exit shell .... system will boot up into runlevel 3
  - login as root
  - use passwd for changing expert password
  - edit /etc/shadow, add char "!" at begin of password string.
