Re: Dedicated Service Tools User and Password

[Al Barsa <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IBM really screwed this one up in V5R1.  Your old DST (and now SST) user
profile and password was QSECOFR/QSECOFR (as shipped by IBM).  You may have
changed it for good security.

In V5R1, the password becomes case sensitive (but they don't tell you -
just for fun and games), so after your third attempt at keying the
password, it becomes invalidated!

There is an OS/400 command that only the CPF QSECOFR user profile can use
(not a member of a group, or someone with *ALLOBJ authority), but only the
read QSECOFR, called CHGDSTPWD and take the option for *DEFAULT.  This will
change it backed to the shipped default.
