Use BatteringRamPro:

http://www.unna.org/view.php?/utilites/BatteringRamPro

Using another Newton, install that package to a card. Put the card into the

locked eMate and soft reset it. When the OS activates the package it will
break through the password screen. Now you can go into Prefs and disable
it,
and all of the data on the eMate will still be there.
