RTH: "A change to this system value takes effect at the next IPL." CRTUSRPRF USRPRF(DUMMY) PASSWORD(Q12345) SIGNOFF Sign on as DUMMY with a password of 12345 (notice: no Q). Works.

We ran into a case where we had to retype some user passwords with CHGUSRPRF to enable them to log in. There were enough problem accounts to acknowledge the issue, but not enough to completely solve the mystery. Move cautiously with that SYSVAL.

Changing the password level on the fly could easily turn into shooting yourself in the foot. I'd change it back and then look at the security manual.

Also, changing the password level is not something you want to do without some preparation. There is documentation from IBM that covers this and you really need to go over it before you do this.

I've figured out that she's hitting a road block when using a number as the leading character in her password. I want to change that sysval to allow leading numbers. I've found that if I edit that users password in her usrprf I get the error "Value for new password not allowed at password level 0." A CLUE! I change the system value for QPWDLVL (what I think the error just mentioned points to) to 2- Yet when I edit usrprf and change password I still get the "Value for new password not allowed at password level 0." Error. I just changed that sysval to 2. Does anyone think it requires an IPL for changes to take effect? Am I changing the correct system value to allow a leading number in a password?
