KS, I've had similar problems with pixes. Try using a different floppy disk. If that doesnt work, open up the Pix and make sure the cables are connected properly and the memory is seated correctly. If that still doesnt work, try replacing the DRAM (sounds strange, but bad DRAM causes interesting problems). If that still doesnt work, try upgrading or downgrading the PIX OS and try using the other password recovery file that goes along with that OS. Let me know what happens.
