Try typing jsd3552 as the password. It worked for a previous eBay buyer of
ex-school Iyonixes.

Failing that, try contacting Gonzalo Meza via this list (his email address
isn't given in the archive). He had the same problem as you (probably the
same eBay seller) a while back and seemed to get the right password in the
end.
