There are instructions in VMS FAQs (among other places) for how to
get into a machine when you have free access to the console. There
is some variation, but there are some cookbook instructions on how
to do it.
Does anybody know, when Digital sent out (loaner)
machines to
comapnaies for testing products, was there a default username/password
that they usually set?
The canonical defaults are SYSTEM/MANAGER and FIELD/SERVICE. Some
older machines might have SYSTEST/UETP. Any of these should have enough
privs to let you twiddle the SYSUAF file (change passwords, add accounts,
etc.)
More recent versions of VMS will not allow you to take a default
SYSTEM password, but you can change it back after the install is
done.
