Ray is correct. All of the pre-genned .zip file installations that I created have the "traditional" passwords that were used for RSTS "if" I created those accounts. For pre version 9 systems the standard was
[1,1] SECRET [1,2] SYSLIB The pre-genned .zip files come with these as default [1,2] SYSLIB [1,5] SYSUSR [100,100] DEMODEMO I believe Tim (and a few others) had some V10 distros available for download, but I did not make these available on Rsts.org in order to comply with the Mentec hobby license agreement. One of these days I need to take some time and pre-gen some of the other versions so they are all easy to download and use without much effort. Brett On Wed, 9 Oct 2019, Ray Jewhurst wrote:
IIRC all of the prebuilt systems on RSTS.org come with a text file called password.txt which provides all of the passwords. If you no longer have yours, you could always redownload the packages.

I have found installation tapes on rsts.org, but I also have a pre-built system that I downloaded in January 2018 that I was hoping to start with. I can't recall where I got it from. The file name that I downloaded is RSTS_V10.1.zip and the contents of the zip file are: RQDiskV10_1.DSK rsts_1193.ini The DSK file is 155MB in size, so I presume it is a simulated RD54. I can boot the system using the simh pdp11.exe executable on Windows 10 (I normally use CentOS rather than Windows for this type of work) and it appears to run successfully. HOWEVER, I can't log in as I have no information on a username/password combination. I have guessed a few possible passwords (including no password) for the [1,2] account, but to no avail. Does anyone recognise the system that I have described to the extent that you might be able to help me use it? Also, does anyone know how to get into a RSTS system when you have forgotten the system password? Is this even possible? I know how to do it on VMS, but RSTS is completely new to me.
