Re: Resetting QSECOFR's password

Can't you just get the lic from IBM? What release level is the machine at?

I have done two scratch installs in my career and scaree as hell. Knowing
when you pressed that key if the restore did not work, you were essentially
putting the company out of business. I made three backups just in case. I
knew another company that did a huge install that went south and only made
one copy and that was no good. Total disaster.

the IBM media is.

Roy -

To clarify my answer, in order to reset the QSECOFR password, you would
need
to restore the LIC and OS from IBM-supplied media, not from your own
backups.

Hopefully you have a recent and good option 21 save of the system (Save

Entire System).

Personally, I would make sure that I have at least TWO copies of this...
As far as I can tell, it seems that your only alternative is to do a
scratch install of the LIC and OS, which will enable you to reset the

QSECOFR password.

Then you'll then need to reapply PTF's and restore the rest.
