break prc password

[John Esak]

You might be talking about the fact that you can excise a processing
password from a prc table if you have it stored in ascii. That is, if the
last time it was stored out of *cabe the environment variable ABE was set to
ASCII in the environment. Then you can simply edit the prc.table with any
text editor and remove everything from the 4th colon to the 5th colon
inclusive.

Of course, if you are unlucky enough to have ABE set to anything _other_
than ascii _already_, it is going to be a catch-22 because you would need
the password to open the prc and store it!

I understand Mark's  concerns, but this procedure if available to you, is
not illegal. Of course, this might not be what you were looking for re
password removal.
