Re: Resetting QSECOFR's password

["Larry \"DrFranken\" Bolhuis" <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The simplest thing is to sign on with any profile that has equavalent 
special authorities, *ALLOBJ and *SECADM at a minimum and then change 
QSECOFR password with CHGUSRPRF.  Once that's corrected then sign on as 
QSECOFR and change the QSECOFR Service tools Password back to QSECOFR by 
using the command CHGDSTPWD *DEFAULT. You must be signed on as user 
QSECOFR to use that command.
