Mac LC II

I got 5 mac LC II from my school because they where going to throw them out. these have not been used for years and the floppies are missing. I can't boot up because there is a password on all of them. If any one as any ideas of any way to help please don't hold back.

:cry:
:devil:
:confused:

There might be something you can use in this thread:

Someone's talking about something similar, not sure exactly how similar, but there might be a jumping off point there.

Good find, if you can get that password off.

I'll never forget the first time my boss told me I had to cut a resistor off the motherboard to upgrade the RAM on one of those. I kept looking at him, waiting for him to tell me he was joking. Sadly, he wasn't.

It's been a while, but IIRC, there's a way to avoid at ease on startup... if so, ditch it! Use the real system instead.

I won't swear that my memory is playing tricks on me, however.
