Well, I appreciate that people answered my question. I sometimes ask
questions and then proceed to work on it until I figure it out. There is a
THESYS "MULTI/RAM card and that was the card with the password ROM. I
found the dip switch "PW" and turned it off. Problem solved. The Turbo
error #04 is still a mystery, but it does not prevent me from using the
system. I am thinking there's an incorrect but incidental switch setting.
It could be a RAM chip but I have no proof. Chkdsk returns an full 640K.

It boots fine, did I say it did not boot? I
don't remember. There is no
arcnet card, it's not the later model PCs LIMITED box, does not match the
red label logo that came out in 1986
You did not say it did not boot, but it was implied by saying that you got
an error message when booting.
Many of us misinterpreted that to mean an error message with unsuccessful
boot, and asked questions about the configuration, and attempted to give
some suggestions of things to try.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Still don't understand the questions about password reset/backdoor; 5160s
do not generally have a password, and some folk conflated that question
with CMOS (sometimes password protected) on 5170.
