Wow, I haven't seen Macintosh Manager in a while :)

If you don't care about anything on that drive, just wipe the drive and
install your own stuff.

You can also try booting with extensions disabled. I don't recall if MacMgr
will still load or not. You can also boot from a 9.2 CD and do a clean 9.2
install.

If you still can't get the cd drive to work (could be related, I am not
sure), use target disk mode from another firewire enabled computer, if you
have one, and delete all traces of MacMgr.

Of course, you could also email the guy you bought it from and ask him what
the password is (then flog him for not removing it to begin with)
