Logging in to the System Account  



The following two sections explain how to log in to the system account from a character cell terminal and from a workstation.

Logging in from a Character Cell Terminal  

Log in from a character cell terminal by entering the user name SYSTEM followed by the password. The display is similar to the following (for an OpenVMS Alpha system):

        OpenVMS (TM) Alpha Operating System, Version 8.2
 
Username: SYSTEM                                    
Password: 
.                                       
.
.
      OpenVMS (TM) Alpha Operating System, Version 8.2
If you forget your password, follow the instructions in Halt, Boot, and Shutdown Procedures for OpenVMS Alpha Systems to perform an emergency startup.

Logging in from a Workstation  

If you installed the DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software on your workstation, do the following after the login window displays on your screen:

  1. Enter the user name SYSTEM followed by the password.
  2. Click on the OK button.
  3. At this point, you can create a DECterm session or initiate other management functions. For information about creating a DECterm session, refer to the DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Applications Guide .
