One of the guys I work with is a NeXT fan... Here's the answer he sent
me.
Subject: Re: NeXT question (fwd from Bill Pechter)
have him go into rom monitor before it boots. The
key combo is 'command ~'. Then, do a 'bsd -s'
(foot booting into single user mode). Then have
him mount / as rw and change passwd. If he is
talking about hw passwd, then he needs to remove
the battery for about 15 minutes.
