When exactly did it ask for the password? At the login screen? Open Firmware?
Installing memory really should have any effect on the OS, or what it does to start up... This seems a bit wierd to me... Mind verifing the type of computer he's got... I don't want to be a part of anything that's not exactly legal
. Forgive me for being skeptical, but I've installed and upgraded *alot* or macs in the last 2 years (insurgence of Apple comps at my university campus) and I've never come across anything like this.
