We have installed OpenVMS 8.2 on HP Itanium rx4640.
However, we have forgotten the system password for this server.
I went through the document at http://h71000.www7.hp.com/faq/vmsfaq.txt to reset the system password.
But I have the following queries to ask:
1. How can I got to the openvms console on an HP Itanium server?
2. I can go to the SYSBOOT prompt from the EFI shell. However, I am getting an error.
Shell> fs0:\efi\vms\vms_loader.efi -flags e,1
%SYSBOOT-I-FLLDPARAMFILE, Failed to load parameter file, status = 00000910
3. I am also getting an error, after I have executed the commands specified in the manual at SYSBOOT prompt.
SYSBOOT> SET/STARTUP OPA0:
SYSBOOT> SET WINDOW_SYSTEM 0
SYSBOOT> SET WRITESYSPARAMS 0
SYSBOOT> CONTINUE
%SYSBOOT-I-FILENOTLOC, Unable to locate SYS$PUBLIC_VECTORS.EXE
%SYSBOOT-F-LDFAIL, unable to load SYS$PUBLIC_VECTORS.EXE, status = 00000910

Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,

Re: To reset the system password on an openvms HP Itanium Server
You need only to the SET /STARTUP to get control during the bootstrap process. I then recommend doing a SPAWN followed by a @[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE]STARTUP (to otherwise setup the environment) before doing a SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM and then using AUTHORIZE to reset the system password.
The SPAWN is to prevent a typing error from forcing you to reboot the machine again.
The disabling of the DECwindows support, is, IMHO, unneeded in this situation.

Re: To reset the system password on an openvms HP Itanium Server
Thanks a lot,
The following worked:
Shell> fs0:\efi\vms\vms_loader.efi -flags 0,1
I could also reset the password for system.
However, now the system boots to the $ prompt.
I have to always execute the following command to get to the login prompt for me to login as system.
$ @SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards.

Re: To reset the system password on an openvms HP Itanium Server
From a suitably privileged account, set your default to SYS$SYSTEM, run SYSGEN and reset the STARTUP file to SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM using the SET /STARTUP command.

Re: To reset the system password on an openvms HP Itanium Server
$ MC SYSGEN
SYSGEN> USE CURRENT
SYSGEN> SET/STARTUP=SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM
SYSGEN> WRITE CURRENT
SYSGEN> EXIT
To reset your system startup file during boot, you can also do:
Shell> fs0:\efi\vms\vms_loader.efi -flags 0,1
SYSBOOT> SET/STARTUP=SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM
SYSBOOT> CONT
