I beg to differ with HP's recommendation (in their doc set) for Devin'ssituation. HP's description is meant for customer sites to have a copyof usernames/passwords to which they can revert for nasty situationssuch as a corrupted SYSUAF.DAT. *If* this system has the 'alternate'file, it should have the same problem as the original, of unknownpasswords. What Devin needs is instructions to break into the system. I happen to know how to do that (used to work in OpenVMS Engineering).Is that something that should be discussed here? Thanks,Dick
