actually, you do. to do an "interactive login" you need a valid license.
otherwise you need to do the password bypass method
I used B/R5 break method, set /startup opa0:, set writesysparams 0, continue, spawn
after that run authorize, change password. logout, login, failed.
thats what the openvpn faq suggests, and I believe I've used it before.

I'll check out SIMH.
actually my Linux system claims it can read a vms drive. that'd be
rather interesting.
as for the password, yes I know the routine, except the stubborn
system doesnt want to accept it. I follow all the steps, run
authorize, change the password.
but when i try to login with it, it says its not correct.
There's a few different methods. Which did yo use?
2 possibilities, either the license is no good
(its a new one), they
put the units=0 which bothers me. or the pwdchange=pre-expired is the
culprit.
You don't need to have a valid license to log in as "system" on the
console.
