Macintosh LCII Locked...

[Buzioid]

I just got a Mac LCII for $1 and I can't do very much with it. It was originally for a school, so I can't use the Finder or anything, just 3 programs. Everything is password protected. Does anyone know what I can do to bypass it, or anything??

Also, I can't get the screen to run in color, its black and white. Is there a setting somewhere to change that?

I think youd have to wipe the HDD, and Im pretty sure the first color MacLC was the LCIII. The main problem is, it might be very hard to get ahold of a copy of MacOS 6 or 7 these days (Ebay maybe).

You know, I have 4 ancient Macs. One time I locked one with a password, and it had to be taken in for repair. Another time I deleted the Trash bin. Yes, I erased it with a program in an experiment.

I think you need to wipe the drive, sadly. Hopefully their is nothing of value on their (and I doubt it).
