Hi,
I recently resurrected an old IIci which was lying there waiting for a new
board, but now it's working great.
I booted 7.5.1 (the OS which was on the HD) and it started up fine. The
problem is that the HD driver is from FWB, and some of the HD partitions
(the disk has 6 partitions) are password-protected. I don't know the
password, the computer was my father's last Mac, and he also doesn't know
the password. So, how can I delete the password-protected partitions without
formatting? Is there any way? I can't use Apple's utilities, nor any other
utility, and I cannot delete, rename, change the partition!

HD SC Setup 7.3.5 should do the job or the AUX version.
Custom partition should show all partitions available with the boot
partition locked ( if you boot from the hdd). You should then be able to
remove password protected partitions ( provided they're not locked) and
reformat the free space. Try to avolid 3rd party formatters when there's
no need.
Probably better starting with a nuke and pave but thats up to you.
good luck
