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.

      While I have been playing with running VMS on simulated VAXen, and RT-11

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.

Thanks in advance.
