RE: Resetting DST Password

Wow - this is awesome.

OK, it reset it to QSECOFR in upper case and it is case sensitive (i.e. the
field for password does not default to upper case like the user ID).

So I get in and it says the password has expired.

And I try and change it and get:

Message . . . . :   Service tools user ID password cannot be changed.

Cause . . . . . :   Your system is configured to prevent a service tools
user ID with a default and expired password from changing its own password.

Recovery  . . . :   Either change the password of the service tools user ID

through DST or use the Start Service Tools (STRSST) command, select the

option to work with system security, and enable service tools user ID with a
default and expired password to change its own password. Try the request
again.

When you run CHGDSTPWD it should, according to the documentation, change 
the password for QSECOFR to QSECOFR (press F1 on the command panel).  
Whether that's upper- or lower-case I don't know, but my guess would be 
upper.  Case is important.

I'm on V5R3, which is different from V5R1.  Don't know about V5R2.  
Again, the help (F1) on the command panel should tell you what will 
happen when you use the *Default option.
