IDPROM / M48T08 reset OR fake component ?

Hello,

Is there a way to reset the M48T08 using a dipswitch on a sparcstation 5 ?
I received a remplacement component, which, when plugged-in gives
the message "IDPROM content invalid", which is correct, but, also,
says the PROM is password protected. Thus, I cannot initialize its content.

Any idea ? Considering the component I received, I strongly think it is fake (see the picture included).

thank you
