I think you want to use a key combination that resets OBP to default values. I
had to use that a few times 'back in the day' to regain control of surplused
machines that fell into my clutches from surplus sales & what-not...

I think it's Stop + n, but that's a guess... ('Stop' key and 'n' held down
during power-up, until system reboots)
