Sounds like they've used At Ease as access control.  Shift booting
won't get past that.  You'll have to start the Mac with a System CD or
floppy.

Look on http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html for a
System Disk...I don't know how you'd unpack the darned things without a
Mac already though.

Of you DO get the Mac started with either the CD or Floppy, go to the
HD and find it's System Folder, and go into Extentions folder and throw
away anything with the name At Ease.

That should allow you to boot without a password, and you can salvage
what software is already installed too.
