Re: recovering DST password

[Jerry Draper <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

System is down in normal mode so we can't access the system normally.

Customer doesn't know any DST password.

Thus DST.

Need to get into DST to IPL the system in console mode to see what's 
going on.

Can't do a CHGDSTPWD.

Need to use DST option 21 on panel.
