I had picked up some older macs that were locked with a password, either foolpfoof or something similar. I was able to use the disk tools floppy and access the harddrive and deleted everything related to foolproof. Then the computers worked as normal. They were all compact macs on 7.1 and 7.5. The disk tool disk was a 7.6.
