I wish it was that easy!   ON our VMS system, the passwords are encrypted, 
so if you lose/forget your password, they have to totally destroy your 
original one because they can't find it!

You wanna see how VMS has no security?  Just go to any VAX system and 
log in as "decnet".  The default password is "Decnet" and chances are your 
system administrator didn't change it!  I stumbled upon this in our 
school's VAX....and got caught!  Needless to say, they changed the 
password--and FAST!
