SGI 4D/25 Personal Iris keyboard and mouse

If you have an IRIX 5.3 install set, you can easily boot from the install CDROM, bypass the install, gain root control and change the root password to anything you like. If you don't have an IRIX 5.3 install CD, you'll have to do some serious hacking as IRIX by 5.3 was reasonably good on security. Of course, someone may have used a simple password and made "guessing" an option. BTW: If you get this ol' critter running, you'll be impressed by it's graphics capabilities considering it's vintage (especially if you have a higher end graphics set). This is especially true for 2D - but 3D is SLOW because the PI didn't have texture memory as on option. Lyle -- Lyle Bickley Bickley Consulting West Inc.
