Another trick if startup.cmd logs you off the console is when it asks for
the Date and Time do an ^Z
That will exit you out of the startup.cmd (like autoexec.bat) and leave you
at the >(mcr) prompt in SY0:[200,200] then you can continue with Tim's
suggestions.

Subject: RE: uPDP-11 is working now!
Anyway, next task is how to get past the user name and
password problem.
There recently was a discussion here regarding breaking into an MVII
running VMS. (Watch for a future msg regarding my unsuccessful attempt at
running up my MVII this morning)
Can anybody describe a way to do this under RSX-11M+ v3.0? Of course, there
*may* be something about this in my RSX-11M manuals but please suggest
about which volume!
I'm using this PeeCee as a terminal. The simple communications program I
use can capture all text sent from/to the uPDP. After I type-in the time
and date the remains of a rather long script is run and the '>' prompt is
all I get after the dust settles. No users are logged-in and I believe MCR
is the CLI running.
If you're at the MCR prompt at this point, very likely you've got a
[200,200] UIC. Switch to a priv'd UIC (i.e. SET /UIC=[1,1]), do
a RUN $ACNT, and use the menu options to set the password for the
SYSTEM account to whatever you want.
See chapter 2 of the _System Management Guide_ for more details.
