A friend of mine just picked up a VAX 4000/VLC (on my
recommendation as a
nice small VAX) and I thought it was broken, because
the 'sho dev'
produced
"illegal command." Turns out it has had a
password set, but of
course the
seller didn't know that. Anyway, how does one tell
the VAX to
"forget" that
it has a password set? Is there a jumper or something
somewhere?
Turn off the power.
Find the two triangular solder pads near
the TOY (it has a clock face printed
on it) and short these together with
a screwdriver.
This is from the VLC/4k60 Condensed Service Information so
I assume it applies to both.

Anybody know the trick on how to reset the system account password on a VAX
