Rumour has it that the latest works on NetBSD/sparc64, but I haven't
tried yet....

The manual says this in the troubleshooting section:

	The printer administrator forgot the password for the TCP/IP
	Printer Configuration Utility.

	See the service information that came with your pinter to learn
	how to get in touch with Apple.

However if I remember right there's a low-level reset switch hidden on
the main control board and it might reset the password.  If you haven't
opened one up before I strongly recommend checking the manual first (the
PDF should still be available online from Apple).  I think installing
the new ROM reset the password too.

The M$-Windows setup tool supposedly lets you change the password....
but maybe it requires the old one first....
