Since you're only really doing this to reset the password the lack of
other devices is unimportant, all you need access to is
sys$system:sysuaf.dat.
OK so lets try reversing the commands at the SYSBOOT
prompt
SYSBOOT> SET/STARTUP SYS$SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM;2
Set/start sys$system:startup.com. I'm not aware of any file called
sys$systartup_vms.com, the site specific file is
sys$manager:systartup_vms.com.
You can see this yourself by doing SHOW/START when you first get to
SYSBOOT.
