hosed password for sys1.vmastcat?


 

I have a 3350 volume I have loaded up using dasdload. attached to Hercules, and mounted. Using TK3UPD. AFAIK, I have not changed the master catalog password.

I go to catalog one of the datasets on it (using RFE), and (in TSO) get prompted for the password to SYS1.VMASTCAT (expected, it has an unusual HLQ). Type SECRET.

IEC331I 056-012,WEGSCD? ,IKJACCNT,RCU ,IGG0CLB6

...and RFE tells me the catalog request failed.

Tried upper case, lower case, caps lock, all no good. Did a trace on the x3270 session to make sure the correct characters were being sent.

Same problem using RPF.

Can I somehow verify (and/or change!) the password from the console?

I've had trouble via TSO before.

Run a batch job and the console will prompt.

If you're paranoid and have VM system available, dump the tracks DDR.

no luck from the console either (tried to allocate an XXX.BOGUS dataset).

What tracks would I dump with DDR, and why?

fixed. I do not know why I can't enter the master catalog password from TSO, but I can't.

The problem with the console was that I didn't know that the console input was case sensitive.

scary, though!
