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.
