Almost on topic VMS 5.2 help please

The way I broke into my VS3100 went something like this:

>>> B/R5:1
SYSBOOT> SET/STARTUP OPA0:
SYSBOOT> SET WRITESYSPARAMS 0
SYSBOOT>C
$ SPAWN
$ _at_SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM
$ RUN AUTHORIZE
UAF> MODIFY SYSTEM/PASSWORD=YOURPASSWORD
UAF> EXIT
$ _at_SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN

When you reboot, you should get the username/password prompt and will be
prompted to change your password after you log in.

I used this to get into my VS3100, before I got the hobbyist license
through DECUS...

Hope this helps,

Aaron
