Task 3: Selecting initial program load options

You can learn how to select initial program load (IPL) options.

Sign on as QSECOFR.
The password for QSECOFR depends on the recovery steps you have performed:
- If you restored the operating system without first restoring the Licensed Internal Code, the QSECOFR password was not changed during the restore process.
- If you used option 1 to restore the Licensed Internal Code before you restore the operating system, the system associates the QSECOFR password with your SAVSYS media.
- If you used option 2 or option 3 to install the Licensed Internal Code before you restore the operating system, the system requires no password at this time. The system displays the Change Password display. The system sets the QSECOFR user profile to *EXPIRED, and the system sets the password to QSECOFR. The system restores the system security level after you install the operating system and the IPL completes. When the IPL completes, the QSECOFR password is the password associated with the SAVSYS media you used.
Note: If you do not know the QSECOFR password, you can use dedicated service tools (DST) to reset the password to its shipped value of QSECOFR.
