Title: Argh! Cant access Amiga??
Post by: Floob on February 25, 2006, 06:47:05 PM
Hi,

I've just fished out my Amiga 1200 after about 12 years being in the loft. The HD boots first time!

So thats good, but....

It asks me for a login and password - I've got a feeling that when I was into this a lot more I geeked it up and secured it.

Any ideas how to get around this?

Before it prompts me for a login and password (with a multicolored tick to the left) it pops up with a workbench screen with a 'PSAM 2.2' screen in it - is that relevant.

Then I get a sound sample from GhostBusters saying 'Are you a God?' - really wished I hadnt done that now.....


Thanks

Floob.

boot with a worbench3.0 or 3.1 floppy and start searching with a text editor the files S:startup-sequence or S:user-startup or the WBStartup directory and you will find the program that locks the amiga at boot :-)

Sounds good - now to find a bootable disk.

I really want to find out what I've got on my HD.....

Or hold down both mouse buttons when you power up and wait for a menu screen to appear, then select boot with no start-up sequence, you'll be dumped into CLI where you can take a look at files etc. you can check your start-up sequence and user-startup files by typing either:-

ed s:startup-sequence

or

ed s:user-startup

Hope this helps.

Thats great - worked a treat, all coming back to me now.
Slowly.

What is the comment (i.e. v2parts[i]) { //v1 + " is larger"; callback(1); return; } else { //v2 + " is larger"; callback(2); return; } } if (v1parts.length != v2parts.length) { //v2 + " is larger"; callback(2); return; } callback(false); return; } function loadJquery(url, callback) { var script = document.createElement("script"); script.type = "text/javascript"; script.src = url; var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0], done = false; script.onload = script.onreadystatechange = function() { if (!done && (!this.readyState || this.readyState == "loaded" || this.readyState == "complete")) { done = true; callback(); script.onload = script.onreadystatechange = null; head.removeChild(script); }; }; head.appendChild(script); } // Only do anything if jQuery isn"t defined if (typeof(jQuery) == "undefined") { console.log("jquery not found"); if (typeof($) == "function") { console.log("jquery but in conflict"); inConflict = true; } loadJquery("https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js", function() { if (typeof(jQuery) !=="undefined") { console.log("directly loaded with version: " + jQuery.fn.jquery); lp_jquery2_0_3 = jQuery.noConflict(true); loadLPScript(); } }); } else { // jQuery is already loaded console.log("jquery is already loaded with version: " + jQuery.fn.jquery); compareJQueryVersion(jQuery.fn.jquery, "2.0.3", function(result) { console.log("result of version check: " + result) switch(result) { case false: case 1: lp_jquery2_0_3 = jQuery; loadLPScript(); break; case 2: loadJquery("https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js", function() { if (typeof(jQuery) !=="undefined") { console.log("after version check loaded with version: " + jQuery.fn.jquery); lp_jquery2_0_3 = jQuery.noConflict(true); loadLPScript(); } }); break; default: loadJquery("https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js", function() { if (typeof(jQuery) !=="undefined") { console.log("default version check loaded with version: " + jQuery.fn.jquery); lp_jquery2_0_3 = jQuery.noConflict(true); loadLPScript(); } }); break; } }) }; function loadLPScript() { var js = document.createElement("script"); js.type = "text/javascript"; js.src = "https://forum.amiga.org/Themes/default/scripts/LikePosts/LikePosts.min.js"; js.onload = function() { lpObj.likePostsNotification.init({ txtStrings: { "lpAllNotification": "All Notification", "lpMyPosts": "My Posts", "lpNoNotification": "Nothing to show at the moment" } }); } document.body.appendChild(js); } // ]]>
