I only have my own experience to go on but I _DO_ remember the "first" wizard
password we discovered.  We have since recompiled with a new password (more
than once) because old ones kept leaking out and users were no longer playing
the game but instead merely creating superstar characters.  This is why I am
a bit squeamish about sending the first password over the net.  Each system
should have a designated _Moria Wizard_ who is the keeper of the password and
available for emergencies as you have described.  If you want to be that person
you can send mail to me directly and I'll tell you all you should need (I hope)
to get you going.
