Followed this procedure to reset the system password. (http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/204)
1. b -flags 0,1
2. SET/STARTUP OPA0:
3. SET WINDOW_SYSTEM 0
4. SET WRITESYSPARAMS 0
5. CONTINUE
6. SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM:
7. RUN SYS$SYSTEM:AUTHORIZE
8. MODIFY SYSTEM /PASSWORD=newpassword
9. EXIT
But at step 7, whenever i execute the "MC AUTHORIZE" or "RUN SYS$SYSTEM:AUTHORIZE", i am getting an error and the bellow message will be displayed and i am not getting $ prompt again.
mc authorize
mc authorize
%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image SECURESHRP

Please anyone can tell me how to solve this issue, and/or is there any other way to reset the system password ?

SolutionOnce at the OPA0: Console $ Prompt
$ SET NOON
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC DECW$IGNORE_WORKSTATION TRUE
$ SPAWN
$ @SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP
Noted in the Hoffman Labs link.
Alternate method, note your system device name, boot from OpenVMS CD, set default to device:[VMS$COMMON.SYSEXE] and run authorize. This assumes the logical SYSUAF is not set, if it is, set your default to the value of SYSUAF.

Re: Forgot OpenVMS System password
first of all, ALWAYS issue a SPAWN command as the first DCL command - when working in this environment. This will create a subprocess, in which you can continue to work. If that subprocess fails or is terminated, you're still left with a DCL prompt and you can continue your session after another SPAWN - without having to boot again.
To install all required OpenVMS images, you can do what VMS$INITIAL-050_VMS.COM is doing:
$define /user sys$input sys$manager:vmsimages.dat
$Install := $install/nocomm/translate
$Install
$Delete/Symbol install

Re: Forgot OpenVMS System password
You need to use the SPAWN command so that a new subprocess gets created. If something goes wrong in the subprocess, the subprocess will terminate and you will get the $ prompt again.
In the steps that you have followed, insert a SPAWN command at step 6 and
then try out the subsequent commands.
For different ways to boot the system, you can refer to
