Let's assume the user direct is on maint 191. Define the operator I'd as linknopas on the option statement.
If someone change the maint password. Then link maint 191 and edited the file. You then link maint 123 full pack minidisk. And update the directory.

Subject: Re: Resetting z/VM admin password
Hi Rob,
I am talking about the MAINT profile in USER DIRECT.
I help to maintain a test system when users are free to edit that file
so that they can create their own guests to work with.
A thought came to me on how to recover the system if someone change the
password for the MAINT user and then somehow forgets it.
In the linux world, there are ways to reset the root password, you know
for times when the sysadmin forgets his password.
Is there something similar for z/VM?

Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to reset the password for the MAINT
account?
You talk RACF or plain CP directory passwords?
What makes you think you must "reset" it - you mean someone changed it
and did not tell you? Or are you asking for a back door to get into a
system where you are not supposed to be?
