RSTUSRPRF Did Not Restore the User's Password

Troubleshooting


Problem

This document explains how to restore passwords with a single user profile.

Resolving The Problem

After doing a RSTUSRPRF for individual user profiles, the passwords for those profiles were set to *NONE.

At V5R1 and later, if you are restoring a single user profile and want the password restored, use the RSTUSRPRF SECDTA(*PWDGRP) command to restore the profile and password. For example:

RSTUSRPRF DEV(TAPXX) USRPRF(USRPRF) SECDTA(*PWDGRP) - Replace TAPXX with the restore device being used and USRPRF with the name of the user profile being restored.

For additional information, refer to Chapter 9 in the Recovering your system manual.
