Today I was able to remove the hard drive from a Pro 350 before it 
went to the scrap heap. When I got it home, and put it in my 350, 
it booted right up into P/OS 3.1. Some kind soul defined a default
accout on it, so I am able to get into the menu. Unfortunatly, the
default account is _not_ the system account, and I am wondering if
anyone knows of any way to finf out how I can get into the system
account? I tried 'system', and password 'system', but that of course,
didnt work. 

I am able to do just about anything I want with it, execpt for 
account maintaince. I am able to access DCL, but when I do a
$ DIR DW2:[*] because I am not the system, I get lots off access
errors. 

Thanx
