I don't know whether this was stupid or dangerous or both but it just
worked a couple of minutes ago.
I got this SS20 last week and it had full security on.  After reading
the NVRAM faq I tried the following:

After getting the "Sorry.  Waiting 10 seconds." message I pulled the
NVRAM out of the running machine, typed n and hit ENTER...the ok prompt
appeared so I plugged the NVRAM back in and continued from there.
Everything seems fine.  The screen output is below.   Oh well, I'm
excited...



Type b (boot), c (continue), or n (new command mode)
>n
PROM Password:
Sorry.  Waiting 10 seconds.
>n
Type  help  for more information
ok set-defaults
Note: set-defaults does not change the security fields.
Setting NVRAM parameters to default values.
ok setenv security-mode none
security-mode =       none
