I have no personal knowledge of the subject and have not tried the proposed solution. "security/securi" is the default ROS signon but the password will eventually expire and a new password will be requested. The ROS password is not kept in the configuration file. There is a procedure for saving and restoring security information documented in the OS 2200 Operator Reference (SEC keyin). If security information was not saved and the password has been forgotten, there is no way to recover except to start over with the ROS virtual disk (sys1\vd_DR0.bin) that was supplied with the Express release. If you still have the original ZIP file this should be a relatively straightforward procedure. You might be able to boot with the original ROS disk, save the security information and restore it to the ROS disk you were using. Good luck, and keep us informed of your progress. -- - Stephen Fuld (e-mail address disguised to prevent spam)
