For those following from the VCFed thread I have been working on an IBM 5363 that I have managed to get running up to the IPL sign on. For everyone else this project is being documented at http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?62860-IBM-5363-IBM-System-36 >From there while I know who last owned the machine (from picking it up at their dock) me and my contact at this company have been unable to dig up the MASTER or administrator login information. I ahve a couple leads that might be either the username or password but so far no comnination has worked. Yes I am aware of the old USENET post regarding cracking the login on a 5362 ( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.sys.ibm.sys3x.misc/Vi57cbw1ofQ ) however the CE panel on the 5363 is a lot more simplified and I cannot do several of the steps. Also I do not have the system key but I can probably hotwire it Does anyone know of an alternate procedure for recovering or finding a lost MASTER login?
