Once upon a time Duncan Vella shaped the electrons to say...
>I've just upgraded 2 portmasters 2e's from ComOS 3.1 to ComOS 3.3.

3.3? 3.3 is *known* to have bugs and was never widely released for that]
reason. Please upgrade to 3.3.1.

>Now one of them does not recognize the password I'm giving it while the
>other one is. What can I do with the one that is not accepting my password?

We can do an override:

Call into support 6AM-6PM Pacific time. Have a terminal connected to s0 with
dip switch one rasied. Login as !root with password 'override'. This will
return a challenge. Pass this challenge to the support tech and they will
generate a response. Login as !root again, this time the password is the
response. You should now be logged in. Use 'set password' to change the
!root password. Note - both the challenge and response are case sensitive.
