Sorry Jesse can't really help much here, though I accidentally fell on a crack for it. Now comes the ethical bit. I know how to defeat the poweron password. On the 360 at least. It's a major security issue I guess I should take up with big blue. However, I'm sure it's valuable information to the list to know it's not foolproof. I do however have serious qualms about posting the solution to the list, because there are too many hardware maintainers out there to whom it may be potentially lucrative. For now, I will not make the crack public. Do we have a consensus on whether it should die with me, or on the other extreme go in the FAQ B.8. Power on password - not.
