Trying to recover work related data from a PB 3400 that has network authenticated password protection. It's been sitting in a closet at work for about 10 years and our techs refuse to support something they have no idea about. I believe the 3400 is running 7.6.1. I've tried using my 7.6 (not 7.6.1) Disk Tools 2 floppy which the 3400 attempted to boot but was thwarted by a 'restart' dialog stating that this installer disk will not work on this model Mac. Not really buying that but ok. Next I tried my 7.6 (not 7.6.1) install CD. Also denied by the same 'restart' dialog. Maybe it's true. Baffled but confident, I next tried my Mac OS 8 install disk and it boots to desktop and mounts the internal HD. Yes! The Get Info panel for the HD reveals that there is 500MB of 'data'. However, when I open the internal HD there is only a very small (46k) application named, harmlessly enough, "Open me". Um no please. I'm assuming this is some security software that I don't really want to run. The Get Info panel for it reveals that it's version 1.6.3 of "Open me" from Highware, Inc. copyright 1994-1996.
Does anyone have any idea about what I'm working with here and how to get around it? Thank you.
