Password-B-Gone (off topic)

[Greg Casper]

Rob:

Usually the only thing you can do is have the CMOS reset. This requires
finding the CMOS reset jumper on the motherboard and bridging the pins,
causing the system to reset. If you're unfamiliar with the process, you
should get someone familiar with PC's to help you.

Have you tried contacting the computer dept of the univ and asked to trace
the serial #/former user?

My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely.
It's gone right now and didn't leave a forwarding address.
