Sorry to have wasted bandwidth on my previous post concerning my problem that someone had set the password on my machine. The solution was just a phone call away - at Zenith tech support. Here it is: Call Zenith at 800-227-3360 or Look on the I/O board right below the dianostic LED's - you'll find an 8 pin chip - that's the EEPROM for the password. Pull it and your back in business. The folks at tech support can give you a little procedure for pulling it and bending some pins in order to reburn the chip, if you prefer.
