I'm afraid the other computers I have are either Apple// or Windows
machines, so that's out. Sounds like an awful lot of work, as well.

Did some more tinkering with it and found out a few things. It is
indeed running At Ease version 3.0.3, which I can't disable from the
finder without knowing the Administrative account password. It's
running OS  7.6.1, which is what I wouldn't mind using. It also has
Netscape Navigator 4.0, but when I try to run it, the computer hangs.

Found out the school that used to own the computer, going to try to
contact them to see if they can tell me the password, but it looks like
I'm going to have to find and reload the system software. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
