The easiest way is to turn clustering off, so if the machine’s running press the HALT button then from the Dead Sergeant prompt (>>>) do this: >>> B/1 (or B/R5:1) SYSBOOT> SET VAXCLUSTER 0 SYSBOOT> C This will boot as a single node and let you log in assuming your SYSUAF.DAT isn’t on a clustered drive. If it is add this command after SET VAXCLUSTER 0: SYSBOOT> SET UAFALT 1 This bypasses the main system authorisation file and lets you log in as SYSTEM with no password. Usually. The caveat emptor here is if the previous owners also used a SYSUAF_ALT file in which case it gets a little more complex. -- adrian/witchy Owner of Binary Dinosaurs, the UK's biggest private home computer collection? t: @binarydinosaurs f: facebook.com/binarydinosaurs w: www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk
