Hi guys

I know you're all going to laugh at this one but can anyone please offer 
some help.  Not really a MacBSD problem but it's sure as hell preventing 
me from running it!

In my infinite wisdom I decided to use my copy of APS Power Tools 2.7.3, 
which incidentally lives only on my internal hard disk, to set a password 
on a disk partition.  Problem is I set it on the root Mac partition instead 
of the second one.  And guess what -- it won't boot. :-(

Somy question is, does anyone know, since I now don't have Power Tools to 
unset the password, of any way I can get my data back off the disk or 
preferably restore it to its former glory without having to reformat the 
disk.  Any info/help would be wonderful. And I know it's 
unethical/illegal but if someone could lend me a copy of Power Tools I 
would be eternally grateful.

Sorry to waste your bandwidth but I'm getting pretty desperate here.  
There's some vital research data on this disk  and without it I'm screwed!

Thanks,

	Steve
