I'd like to know about password function on PS-laserprinters.
My experience is that something or somebody locked up our Apple
Laser Plus. Now the laser is useless without right password.

I heard that only way to get out is hard. It means that we have
to chance some (pretty expensive) EPROMS or something like that.

I think that it is not the best way, because maybe we well face the
same problem tomorrow. So my question is:

1. How you can set the password? (It is not secret citadel information

anymore, we have noticed it. Or should I say it is non documented feature.)

2. How you chance or reset the password? (Disable the whole feature?)

3. Is this weard feature in every PS-laser or is it model dependet?

Info, comments and HELP are wellcome.
