Re: Resetting QSECOFR's password

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
