   If they are TRSDOS, up until the end you could try F3GUM or UBETT as the   
   password.  The last versions of TRSDOS changed it so the hash didn't zero   
   out   
   on those entries.   
      
   Or...  You could try taking another disk, and set the password.  Then copy   
   that   
   hash code onto your disk...    But that assumes you made a 'bulk copy' of   
   the   
   disk first so you didn't risk loosing it.
