How to stop AutoBoot on the Samsung SCS-26UC4

After downloading the Samsung source code, you may try to find differences between the stock sources, and the ones Samsung provides. This results in a list of the changes Samsung had to make to the stock sources to get their product going. After you build a serial cable for the femtocell, you also might've noticed the message 'Hit any key to stop autoboot', tried hitting a key, and the boot proceeded anyhow. Here's why.

This code adds a 4-byte password of s, y, s, followed by newline or carriage return.
