Re: Resetting QSECOFR's password

Stephen, you do NOT need to use the IBM media, in fact, when you install
the LIC and OS from your save21 you don't use passwords at all, until you
need the default QSECOFR OS password, but that one gets changed when you do
the restore. As long as you create a QSECOFR-like user BEFORE restoring the
user profiles, you can keep access to the machine even if you don't know
both QSECOFR passwords. That, of course, implies that you DO have a recent
save21 and you can do such a disruptive activity.

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.
