[SunHELP] eeprom password, part II

[Thomas Cameron]

I guess the electricity gods were just not with me, then.  I tried it,
and now I get a message that says something like "MMU miss" or something
like that whenever I try to reset the security settings.

I will try to dig up James's instructions.  It's a royal PITA, tho,
because I can't Stop-A - it asks for a password!

You actually -can- do this safely, at least on older (32-bit) machines.
James Lockwood has also posted some alternative instructions which work
just as well.
