If you inherited a machine from somewhere, most likely there's no default admin password set anymore, and the password saved on the system isn't known anymore. To get back in, you need to follow Recovery Procedures.

== Basics ==
The Admin-User's Login is ''QSECOFR'', the default password likewise.<ref>On OS Releases after V4, the case is important: QSECOFR ≠ qsecofr.</ref>

This admin user profile exists '''twice''' on the system: Within the OS, and in the Dedicated Service Tools, or sort ''DST''.<ref>Almost but not exactly like a PC's BIOS.</ref> From experience, the DST password is most often left to the default password value, ''QSECOFR''.<ref>Starting with OS Release V5, DST password is ''case sensitive'', so take care.</ref>

Without reinstall, it's possible to
* reset the DST password via an OS command,
* reset the OS password via DST.

== Locked User Profile ==
In addition to a unavailable password, there's also the possibility that the profile itself is locked.
