Re: Resetting QSECOFR's password

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

OK, I get it, sending links to documentation is valuable and often 
points out that a search of some flavor might have produced the answer 
without causing unneeded traffic to the list.

*BUT*

Did you read that link??  Here is what it says:

"When you lose your QSECOFR user profile password or your QSECOFR 
service tools user ID, use one of the passwords to reset the other."

However, the OP effectively said: '' we don't know either password ''

So the link provided does not good to the OP at all. If you read the 
detail in the link it effectively says 'if you know one, use that to 
reset the other.' Beyond that it provides *zero value.

Sorry if I appear to be cranky on this but the link does the OP no good 
whatever. FURTHER I am also annoyed with IBM for providing a link with 
what effectively has *ZERO value.
