It is not Linux. Hence, no GRUB.

Looks like your HD is going to HD's heaven.

You can try "swinst" or/and "mtch" accounts.

It's clear that your HD is falling to pieces. Chances are that /usr3/mao directory is destroyed just like /DHS3bin/soft_install.
Do you have any Floppy of 4740/4760 backups of DB?

Is this production system? Does it function properly now? If yes then may be there is possibility to recover DB.
You can recover root (or any access). Just google for "Alcatel 4400 PBX Hack".
