I am by no means an expert on RSX but it is my recollection also that
this was the way to break in. A judicious ^C during startup at the
console, particularly in V3.2 and prior, would let you in. Not sure
about V4.0 and later; that issue may have been addressed.
Might need to do an ATL to see the active tasks and an ABO of one or
more tasks once at the MCR prompt.

I don't
have the password for an RSX11 install I have on a used RD53.
Anybody know the sequence? Is there something like on VMS where
you give a bootpart to be able to interrupt startup and use an
altauth ?

IIRC [I worked alot more on 11-M than on M-Plus... and it was over
15 years ago...].....
While the startup script is running you should be ablse to press
Ctrl-C to abort it. If the sys manager did not put in good error
handlers, it will leave you at an MCR prompt....A cleaner
alternative is to enter Ctrl-Z when prompted for the date and time
during startup....RMMV
