I was able to start the system up, it boots up to a login prompt for VMS
VAX 7.3.
I do not have any login info for this machine, is there a procedure i can
follow to reset a password to an account?
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
I thought it was in the FAQ.
