Anyone else getting repeats of messages posted to bugtraqs? I've gotten at least
two like the one below with missing headers (along with the original with
complete headers).

But if you lose the monitor password, a recovery procedure is
documented.  It involves, as I recall, removing the backup battery
(which involves opening the case) and waiting at least N hours, where N
is something like six or twelve.  I don't offhand recall where I read
this; probably in some hardware manual - it may (and quite likely does)
differ from model to model.

I was under the impression that some newer chips had the power source on 
the chip (ie no backup battery); consequently, you can't ever reset by 
bleeding the power from the chip.  I may be remembering a PC chip - does 
anyone know more about this feature?

Catherine.
