I recently performed a disaster recovery test where I restore from my SAVSYS
tape to another machine. During the installation process I signed on as
QSECOFR with a password of QSECOFR (the default) because I hadn't restored
the user profiles yet. I was then prompted to change the password. I didn't
have to know the QSECOFR password as it was saved on the SAVSYS tape to
continue... However, reinstalling your system is probably a drastic approach
to recovering the QSECOFR password. <smile>
