According to all the search engines I've tried, there is only one recourse: contact Apple. Then you have to convince them you haven't stolen the printer. Then, if they like, they'll tell you the master password that is somehow based on MAC address. *If* the netmask is correct, and the default gateway setting not needed, a serial connection might be able to change the IP address only. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
