   If you have a disk sector editor and can see the directory track, the hash   
   for a blank password is 9642 hex.  TRSDOS 1.3 for the Model III is a   
   different beast.   
      
   You can also download SuperUtility from Ira's site. It can copy many   
   protected disks. Just be sure you get the right version for the computer   
   model.  For example, Super Utility 4/4p would be for the Model 4 series.   
      
   Of course, DOSPlus lists the system passwords in the manual, and Tim Mann's   
   site lists several.
