Clearly the link has value if you know one password or the other but the
OP stated that they didn't know either. I'm also not a big fan of
postings to any list that are merely a link with no comment whatever
UNLESS the OP's question was 'can someone provide me a link to xxx?' In
that case the link is a direct answer the question.
I've always been a big fan of not just an answer but a reason where
possible. Beyond only providing answers, education is key or all you end
up with is a large number of simple questions.
In other words don't just give a man a fish, teach him to fish.
My absolute least favorite posts are where someone asks a question,
perhaps the very question I am searching for an answer to, and the
thread is marked *SOLVED!*. Sadly when you get to the end the OP has
merely replied 'fixed it' but with no detail whatever on how that was
accomplished. IMHO such a thread should be deleted as it provides
negative value by drawing in people with that issue but only providing a
waste of time and no solution. Fortunately I do not see this occurring
much on Midrange-L and I hope it stays this way!

FURTHER I am also annoyed with IBM for providing a link with what
effectively has *ZERO value.
Honestly, this link (or a direct link to the linked documentation
"below") has served me well on some few occasions when I needed to rescue
machines I saved from scrapping. And every so often I just couldn't
remember how to reset one via the other. :-)
