Hey All,

I have asked a similar question to this in the past, only now I have a new
spin on it.

I have an E-250 with a firmware password. I have no way of contacting the
administrator of this machine, as it has changed hands several times since
(s)he last touched it.

I have tried booting with a valid boot disk out of another E-250, nothing, I
have even swapped the prom with a known good one from a different E-250. I
STILL get the "Firmware Password:" when I try to boot..

Does anyone know where on the E-250 the Password is stored, I always thought
it was on the Prom of all the machines, The 2 new prom chips that I stuck in
there are proving me otherwise.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Glenn May
