Wait,
can't you boot without the extensions
by holding down the control button during
start up (or something similar that I can't
recall). Then simply take fool proof out
of the extensions folder and reboot?

Subject: Tic-Tech: Disabling "FoolProof"
--- TIC-TECH message:
The FoolProof people will only help you if you have the contract number
when you call them up (providing that they still support that old a
version). THey didn't want the kids calling them up.
You can remove the FoolProof extension only if it wasn't set to lock the
Hard Drive when booting from a different volume. Removing the FoolProof
extension can also lock your Hard Drive so that you can't even use it. If
you do it wrong, you can lose it all.
The Library Mac's used System 7.5. Mac's with System 7.1 that don't have
locked Hard Drives can be fixed by cloning a non-protected Mac to it.
That's the quickest and easiest solution. But, it doesn't work with System
7.5.
