Yeah, I found that today. Looks like that was the only password on it. My 
box reported an uptime of 6 days... well past the first 5 minutes, and it 
accepted that password.

Did you maybe fry the wall wart? I don't know how close to that 1.25A the 
box actually draws.

Question: Were you successful in getting a machine connected to the box 
to talk to servers on the ethernet side? I have a VERY strong 
recollection of having done it in the past (right down to being able to 
tell you specifically which cables I was using, where items were located, 
and a conversation I had about how freaking long it took to back up a 
hard drive over LocalTalk).

But since another person questioned my ability to do this (not 
questioning me, but rather questioning the fact that it was possible), I 
attempted to do it today, and failed. I had system 6.0.4 running, which 
may have been a problem. I may try it again with System 7 tomorrow if I 
can free up space to put a different computer (I have an LC 550 I can 
test it with). But if you were successful, then maybe I can put off a 2nd 
try to ease my mind.
