We were doing a backup of an AP Pro system and noticed it didn't seem
to be backing up any longer. We broke out of the backup . .checked
workspace etc and things *appeared* to be ok. It was decided to reboot
... oh my

During login we get message (after diagnositics .. ok)

Illegal user id ..

then prompts for login .. none of our logins work .. enter sysprog and
illegal user id

BUT if you enter s and enter it prompts for password .. oh my .. no
passwords work (not even first letter of password)

So .. any ideas how to get into the system? Oh yeah .. it turns out
the user had not done a backup for ever <sigh> same old Song and Dance



thanks

try logging on as COLDSTART. There should NEVER be a password. After the
system boots, it "automatically" logs on the user COLDSTART to get things
going.

If this works, be ready to break-and-end. Once you are at tcl, you should
be able to do things like LIST USERS and whatnot to get squared away.
