Whoa, 3 posts in one day, what's happenig to me :-)
I have a couple of daybreak machines with failing hard
drives. I have the
6085 offline diagnostic disk (2.0) which will format drives, but to do
formatting you need the system admin or tech support password. Does anyone
here happen to know one of these passwords? help!
Yup - type "911" at the first menu prompt - after that you should get a
lengthy
message about how you shouldn't mess with commands if you don't know what
you're
doing (ie "call Xerox and we'll bill the s**t out of you for a 5 minute
job")...
Type "IAcceptTheRisk" at the second prompt (case doesn't actually matter,
just
did it for readability) and you should be in to the command prompt. A "?"
shows
you the options...
Good luck!

PS mesanet.com? Anything to do with the Mesa language?
