Dear all, I joined this meeting at the begining of December, last year, and saw the tail end of a discussion on how to retrieve lost passwords. A $99 utility was suggested... I frightened myself yesterday by forgetting the supervisor password, and not changing my password for my "usual" ID within the 6 logins. My colleage had also forgotten the Supervisor password, but she could use her own ID to reset my password... If she had been run over by the proverbial bus, I could well have been sunk. For future info, how would I be able to reset my own or the supervisor password? (I have untried ideas about patching the disk(s) (shiver). Last I poked about the SYS: volume I got totally lost.) If you think the info is too dangerous, mail me direct 9or mail me saying that the info is too dangerous!). Cheers, Bertil. O.B.Schou@uk.ac.loughborough or OBSchou@UK.AC.Loughborough.Multics.
