Use the proceedure for what to do if you've lost a password that is in the
FAQ. *DO NOT* use the proceedure for this that you'll find in the manuals.
In at least some of the manuals the proceedure given doesn't work all the
time.

The online manuals are a great place to start, but having real books is
even better as you can read through them when not around a computer. I'd
recommend starting with a 3rd party book on using VMS, then a book on VMS
Administration such as "Mastering VMS". Then you'll really be ready to
dive into the Doc Set. I've found books on using VMS and my copy of
"Mastering VMS" very cheap used.
