Re: System Password - How to get it.

A few years back, there was a command that was somthing like
work with rack config (which has been replaced)... When you did
a display, it showed you nothing but rack info. When you "printed"
the rack config, it also included the "hardware system password".

The password could be seen "only" on the printout.

I'm not sure when/if that command even exists at present... It does
not show up on the V4r5 machine I'm working on at the moment. I'm
sure there is a version somewhere....

This was NOT the license key as I recall...(but maybe it was)
