As far as I remember, the battery only keeps programs and tool information. I pulled the batteries many times and never lost basic machine parameters. I don't know if the password is kept in battery backed memory. Too bad the ABBP didn't work. I work from a home shop and so never used password protection.
Good luck. Know anyone that wants to buy an A/B 8400? I'm just about converted to Mach3 with a DSPMC. It's been a pain, but it will be powerful when it's done. I've photographed most of the wiring info from the 8400 manual and can send copies if they would be useful.
