I am posting this for a friend who doesn't like to post.  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.
