RE: AS400 user password (fwd)

There is a TAATOOL that will allow you to display the password.

If I recall you need to change the password validation program and
then you can track all changes that occur.

If you do a CHGUSRPRF command to change the password, it is not tracked.

DSPPWD will display those passwords that have been changed through normal
processes.

I know if you use your user. I can get the password. No problem.
