Another trick if startup.cmd logs you off the console is when it asks for
the Date and Time do an ^Z
That will exit you out of the startup.cmd (like autoexec.bat) and leave you
at the >(mcr) prompt in SY0:[200,200] then you can continue with Tim's
suggestions.

If you're at the MCR prompt at this point, very likely you've got a
[200,200] UIC. Switch to a priv'd UIC (i.e. SET /UIC=[1,1]), do
a RUN $ACNT, and use the menu options to set the password for the
SYSTEM account to whatever you want.
See chapter 2 of the _System Management Guide_ for more details.
