  The last time, a 43P came back with an administrative
password and a
 boot password set on the firmware.  As nearly as I can find out, even
 removing the clock battery won't unset the admin password.  
 Fortunately,
 I did the classroom setup and knew where that box was, so the teaching
 facility knew which student to lean on.  The admin password 
 was fuckyou. 
You mean it didn't _leave_ with an administrative password and a boot
password? :)  

Anyway, you could boot to single-user mode to remove the administrative
password.  The boot password would be the problem.  Can you bypass that
with the key?
