My MicroVax 1 microVMS 4.1 wont allow me past username password prompt.

My VMS system managers manaul talks about a way yo "Conversational Boot" a
Vax system to enter "SET UAFALTERNATE 1". It shows this beig done from a
SYSBOOT> prompt.

I dont know how to get a SYSBOOT Prompt or Conversational Boot on my
MicroVax I. VMS System managers Manual states that this info is in
"Hardware System installation & operators Guide for (my) specific system. I
don't have this guide.


Is there A FAQ somewhere on breaking in past your username/password prompt
from microVax console?

Ethan Dicks gave me default SYSTEM MANAGER FIELD SERVICE and SYSTEST UETP
username password pairs, which don't help.

This should be the common case of system manager forgetting Password.


ANY HELP?


Is there a crypyic command structure to intercept sysboot process and make
it "conversational"?
