I'm having trouble with the password reset procedure (but will resolve it by 
the end of this message). When I run AUTHORIZE, I get this:

$ run authorize
run authorize
%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image SECURESHRP
-CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file PIKE$DQA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSLIB]SECURESHRP.EXE;2
-SYSTEM-F-PROTINSTALL, protected images must be installed

I tried installing my new OpenVMS license pak to see if that would influence 
it, but it didn't seem to help. Took about an hour for my terminal emulator to 
slowly type in that 2400 line license file!

Ok, let's try rebooting with the new license pak installed... Nope!

Ok, now let's try the slightly different procedure at 
http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/204 <http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/204> 
with the vaxcluster stuff spliced in... Much better! Much longer boot time, 
lots of complaining about terminated licenses (previous attempt to install them 
must not have worked), but I was able to reset the password. I'm not sure what 
was different about the other proceduer (maybe the /nowait flag?), and some of 
the lines don't even look applicable to a non-workstation.

Now running the license pak script again, and the output looks a lot more 
promising.

Forward progress continues!
