When it asks for the password, all I did was hit the interrupt key which kicked me into MacsBug (make sure MacsBug is installed) and then did and "es" - exit to shell, which put me into the Finder. No need for a password. What a ripoff. Password "protection"... Yeah, right. m. -- -- Registered, card carrying Macintosh fanatic. -- mkellner@polyslo.calpoly.edu -- soon to be mdk@fruitstripe.com
