I killed something (some password protector) like this before by simply connecting to a NetBSD running PowerMac and hfsutil, as a total MacOS rookie. This is if you only want to copy some files, and not get the system on this hardware running again. (though you might be able to delete files crucial to the password protector that way too). If such approach is feasable, depends on your (or one of your friend's) unix skills Maybe the mere connecting of the disc to a recent PowerMac as external is enough. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
