Re: Resetting QSECOFR's password

[Alan Campin <alan0307d@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
