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?
