Need RSTS V10.1 password

[John Bennett]

I have successfully booted RSTS v10.1 under simh on a Mac. At the end of startup, the console logs out and I have no way of logging in without a password for a system account. What is the [1,2] password please (or another privileged account)
Thanks in anticipation

The password is whatever the person who created the image you used
gave it.

Try this.

Start the boot.
After the prompt:
Proceed with system startup? <YES>

When the messages start to print hit a bunch of ^C.
You should have a "$." prompt. Your in as 1,2 and can use the
SET PASSWORD command to make it whatever you want.

Been a long time since I hacked a RSTS System but I just tried
it and it worked. ;-}

Thanks Bill, That worked.
Have you tried the Y2K patch?
