Argh! Cant access Amiga??

[Floob]

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.
