Hmm. I've tried both. . . and I'm stripping the screw.

Ok, do one at a time. Slide it back, and put your finger under the ESC key. Lift that corner, Then do the same with the other side. Each is easier seperate.

AWESOME! I JUST DID IT AND CHECKED AND THERE'S NO OF PASSWORD!! About to boot into single-user mode.

I got into single-user, but when I type sh /etc/rc it goes into a blue screen and hangs up. I can't boot from the OS 9 CD, not even holding down option at the firmware prompt. It doesn't recognize the CD as a valid volume.
