Re: locked up mac

I see from http://www.faronics.com/html/DFMac.asp that you usually
configure DeepFreeze so that user data is in a "thawed" drive or image.
If that is the case, a reboot may not affect his data. Depends . . .

"By mapping user and application data to a Thawed (unprotected)
partition or drive, users are able to store their documents, pictures,
music, etc., while still enjoying the total system consistency that Deep
Freeze Mac offers."

Though by now you've probably resolved it one way or another.
