ENABLE LOGIN will clear the SUPERVISOR account from the console, but if the 
supervisor password is used to lock MONITOR, that same supervisor password 
will _still_ unlock MONITOR. (You are not hosed, as stated above). A good 
safety measure for the worst case scenario might be to get a copy of SETPWD 
from netlab2.usu.edu. Keep it on diskette, and if push comes to shove, 
power cycle the server and start the core os w/o the AUTOEXEC.NCF. Then you 
can load SETPWD to change _any_ account password.
