This type of machine served me very well for years. I would not erase the hard drive till I knew what programs are on it. Here's a link to the basic information on the machine. The main problem right now seems to be the password protection and I don't remember that machine having one. Some of the programs, like Claris Works did have passwords. Can you tell what system it is running and when is it asking for a password. Maybe you can jog the memories of a couple of the older users around here to be able toget this machine functional again.
