newbite wyse linux v6 issue


My boss has just dumped a wyse winterm thin client on my desk. It is a 5150se (wyse.com) running wyse linux v6.

He has managed to lock himself out of any admin rights and has asked me to fix it :/

The thin client now auto logs into the account which has no admin rights, I cannot even get into control panel.

had a look online for a solution, im lost!

What can I do to solve, is there any way I can reset it to its factory settings? Is there a linux default admin account I can login to( which I hope he has not changed the pword to), if so how do I bring up a login screen,

please keep in mind I have no knowledge of linux.

thanks for all your help, sorry for the long winded email!!!
