Just picked up a 2300c and it chimes and starts booting. Shows the happy Mac for a second then this password window. Curious what software was doing this. IMG_3153.jpeg

Huh, interesting. I wasn't aware of (or forgot) about this feature. Thanks for the information!

Got it. Used my other 2300c with a crap screen to make one of its diskutil boot disks. Then replaced all the included programs with disk editor. Worked a treat, Thanks again.
