Subject: workaround for foolproof
I picked up a Mac that is locked with foolproof. Before I reformat, is
there a way to just use the computer if I get the right keystrokes? I
know there is a password but I'm wondering if there is a keystroke
bypass that I can hunt for, probably only a few hundred thousand
choices. Right now I can't delete anything, or move anything for that
matter. Hope this isn't too far offtopic or something like that. Email
me off-list if you want. Thanks!

It's an Imac... :( And I suspect that the cd drive is locked, it
doesn't read although it spins up. I'm looking into a USB 5.25 case
since there is no floppy to try anything with. Thanks though.
