     I guess this lock-out thing is software, eh?  Then the solution may be as
simple as opening up your computer, disconnecting your harddrive (just pull
the power plug out), and then booting from a floppy.  Once that is donw,
reconnect your harddisk and erase to your heart's content.  The only
difficulty that I can see is that it might not be a good idea to plug in the
harddrive while the power is running - but I can't think of a way around that.
