Of course, on the newer machines (LXs and Classics, anyway) you can reset
the NVRAM to the factory default values with a certain keystroke (L1-D
I think) while the machine is powering up.  Has anyone tried this to make 
sure it won't reset the passwords?



It's L1-N.  It won't reset *anything* when security mode is something
other than none.  So better keep your PROM passwords somewhere safe.
