This is EXTREMELY dated. May be wrong. I was told by SE (too many years
ago) that IBM had a method to get into a system with an unknown QSECOFR
password. Details were not divulged and IBM would not allow viewing of the
method. Everybody out of the computer room. This was ancient B50. Was
this true then and later removed?

I believe you can sign on the console with QSECOFR user profile with
the right password even if the user profile is *DISABLED. But you do
have to know the password.

Ah, right... that's it.

Sorry, my bad.

I'm riding a metric century (100 km / 65 miles) in the American
Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure to raise money for diabetes
research, education, advocacy, and awareness. You can make a tax
deductible donation to my ride by visiting
http://lsteml.diabetessucks.net. My goal is $6000 but any amount is

appreciated.

See where I get my donations from ... visit
http://lsteml.diabetessucks.ne t/map for an interactive map (it's a geeky

thing).

I may have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't have me!
