I'm having trouble with the password reset procedure (but will resolve it by the end
of this message). When I run AUTHORIZE, I get this:
$ run authorize
run authorize
%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image SECURESHRP
-CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file PIKE$DQA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSLIB]SECURESHRP.EXE;2
-SYSTEM-F-PROTINSTALL, protected images must be installed
I tried installing my new OpenVMS license pak to see if that would influence it, but it
didn't seem to help. Took about an hour for my terminal emulator to slowly type in
that 2400 line license file!
Ok, let's try rebooting with the new license pak installed... Nope!

Ok, now let's try the slightly different procedure at
http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/204 <http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/204> with the
vaxcluster stuff spliced in... Much better! Much longer boot time, lots of complaining
about terminated licenses (previous attempt to install them must not have worked), but I
was able to reset the password. I'm not sure what was different about the other
proceduer (maybe the /nowait flag?), and some of the lines don't even look applicable
to a non-workstation.
Now running the license pak script again, and the output looks a lot more promising.
Forward progress continues!
