select DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS VAX as the default windowing system,
answer yes to the following question:
* Do you want DECwindows Motif as the default windowing system? (Y/N)
3.6 Setting Passwords
Next, the installation procedure prompts you to set passwords for the SYSTEM,
SYSTEST, and FIELD accounts and uses this information to create a rights
database.
When setting the passwords, note the following:
• Passwords must be at least eight characters in length; they do not appear on
the display.
• Press Return after you enter the password.
• After you enter the password, the procedure checks to make sure it meets the
requirements for a valid password.
• Reenter the password for verification.
The following is a sample display:
Now we will ask you for new passwords for the following accounts:
SYSTEM, SYSTEST, FIELD
Passwords must be a minimum of 8 characters in length. All passwords
will be checked and verified. Any passw ords that can be guessed easily
will not be accepted.
* Enter password for SYSTEM:
* Re-enter for verification:
%UAF-I-MDFYMSG, user record(s) updated
%VMS-I-PWD_OKAY, account password for SYSTEM verified
* Enter password for SYSTEST:
* Re-enter for verification:
%UAF-I-MDFYMSG, user record(s) updated
%VMS-I-PWD_OKAY, account password for SYSTEST verified
The SYSTEST_CLIG account will be disabled. You must reenable
it before running UETP but do not assign a password.
* Enter password for FIELD:
* Re-enter for verification:
%UAF-I-MDFYMSG, user record(s) updated

If there are no password errors, the procedure creates your rights database, and
you can proceed to the next section.
