Questions: 

We test our storage products under VMS and have several VMS versions in
storage-shelf enclosures.  We have VMS 7.1 on  one drive, but no one
seems to know the system login password.  Is there anyway we can get back
into the system?  We have test scripts a
nd log files on there that we would like to get back.  

Is our only option to just rebuild VMS again?

Thanks

Please see the OpenVMS FAQ for instructions on how to log into a system when
you do not have the SYSTEM password.
