    Two other passwords I have heard suggested, but not tried, are 'foo'
    and 'wizardmodeisnasty'. Not sure where they are to be used.


    Othello for XDE, if memory serves..

    Just to complete the archive for future searchers: the 'tech support' mode password that works with my 6085 offline diagnostics disks is: rexifsn

    Don't like to leave loose ends :-)

    "The System Admin password is "rgmsn" (NS MGR backwards)"
    "the tech service password in mine is 'rexifsn' (NSfixer backwards)"


    it is also documented in 700P02610_6085_PCS_Diagnostics_Handbook_Mar90.pdf
    from your favorite bitsavers.org archive



    which reminds me, I need to get back to trying to get Smalltalk running on my 6085
