	Please.  Such information is reely available on the net.  IWHere i
got the information about eliminating hardware password (remove the battery
and let sit for a day), was posted in response to a ligitimate question
involving a messup on the hardware password.  Similary, I am quite certain
that "how do I recover my root password" has been asked and answered more
then once, when someone who lacks the ability to RTFM makes a mistake.  For
god's sake, the sysadmin manuals are on-line in the extended release, with
th e proedure clearly sppelled out.  It also spells out how to set a
hardware password, and to change other things, such as print manager etc.

	And, if the theif in question knew what he/she was doing, it is
certain that he/she would have snagged the sound-box and keyboard/mouse as
well, as these things are very hard to get outside of an official dealer if
he/she was going to use it him/her/itself.  And if it is for resale, then
any knowledgable thief will take a more common computer, such as a Mac or a
Clone, which would be much easier to fence, and much harder to trace.

It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, .signifying nothing.
