[NTLK] How do you reset the password on a Newton?

[Dan]

You're welcome.  I keep a card with it installed just in case I might ever need it.  Never actually have though so I am not sure if you need to reboot the newton or just insert the card.

Sorry I didn't get it to you in time before you did the wipe.  There is another package, emergency something (or rescue me?  not sure now) that if installed on a card, when inserted into the newton it will do a backup.  And I *think* it will still work even if the newton has the password enabled.  I know I have that file to and can dig it up if you need.
