Well, I tried to input a new password.  There was no indication that it didn't 
like it, but when I tried to make the printer output the protected files, it 
didn't recognise the password I had entered--6 aphlamerics, as requested,
starting with a number and followed by 5 letters.  

Please somebody, tell me how to salvage this mess--in plain English, one step 
at a time.
