A subscriber was at client's site recently trying to fix a problem that had occurred but was unable to gain access to the account as the user had forgotten the password. SYSPROG was also protected and the subscriber queried whether there was any way of getting in, other than installing another version of AREV and attaching the files from another directory.

A simple loophole on most systems is BUMP. BUMP is a user on the SYSPROG account, and is almost never password protected. Thus to gain access, simply log in as AREV BUMP. Once at the BUMP screen, press F10 or F5 and you have complete SYSPROG access. If you wish to ensure a secure system, make sure BUMP is password protected!
