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. Kyle

It should work on the 150s. The 248 is an AT type machine (286 CPU, built in hard drive,e tc) and the 150s are XT type machines (8088 CPU).
