There is another way that DECSERVER passwords can be changed. This
way is recommended only if the SERVER manager has forgotten the old password,
or is on leave (specially with summer coming near...). This is by
setting the Software switch on each server (noted as S1 in the manual diagram)

This then resets the password to "SYSTEM". But this may wipe out the sofware
configuration for the DECSERVER to original state. Maybe there is another way
equiv to UAF, where you modify the password without old password; but that is
not given in the manual.
