Robert,

Wouldn't the DIRMAINT 1DF mdisk be the one you need? 1DB is the backup mdisk.

   MDISK 01DF 3390 3075 018 540W02 MR
   MDISK 01DB 3390 1421 009 540W02 MR

Subject: Oops and finding passwords on a system...

I didn't log in for awhile and, due to advancing age (actually a year older 
tomorrow too), I've forgotten what I made the MAINT password. And, since this 
was also the main password used for almost all the service machines, I don't 
have any other locations to log into that would help me. I know; stupid. :(

Could someone with a zVM 540 system please tell me the starting cylinder of the 
DIRMAINT 1DB minidisk? I don't think we had any reason to relocate it, so, I 
think, with that and a DEFINE MINIDISK command from OPERATOR (my one working 
userid) I can get the password I need to regain control and save some face 
(other than here, since I've confessed to you all).

Thanks to one and all for keeping this as quiet as possible.
