Er guys, it's not magically got any harder since I used to do it - RTFM:
http://wwwvms.mppmu.mpg.de/vmsdoc/vmsfaq/vmsfaq_005.html#mgmt5
basically:
>>>b -flags 0,1
Once at the SYSBOOT prompt:
SET/STARTUP OPA0:
SET WINDOW_SYSTEM 0
SET WRITESYSPARAMS 0
CONTINUE
At the $ prompt:
$ SPAWN
$ _at_SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM: ! or wherever SYSUAF.DAT resides
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:AUTHORIZE
MODIFY SYSTEM /PASSWORD=newpassword
EXIT
then reboot.
