Re: Load source on old 9406-720

Your chances of finding the DST password are about the same as that of a snowball inside a blast furnace, not gonna happen.

Use Larry's suggestion and from the console, signed on as QSECOFR, issue the CHGDSTPWD *DEFAULT command.

To aid in your hacking, stop all parity protection (one less abstraction layer).
And good luck i doubt the users/pass are stored in plaintext.
You could also dump an op21 and look at the lic code part...
