Installing the OpenVMS VAX Operating System
3.6 Setting Passwords
If you reenter a password incorrectly or if the system determines that the
password is too easy for another user to guess, the system displays an error
message similar to the following:
%VMS-I-PWD_INVALID, account password for SYSTEST is invalid
%VMS-I-PWD_WEAK, password is too easy to guess
Because of the preceding error, you must take action to secure this account.
You must either disable this account, change its password, or do both.
When the procedure asks if you want to disable the account, type N and press
Return. When the procedure asks if you want to enter a new password, type Y
and press Return. Then enter a new password. For example:
Do you want to disable this account (Y/N)? N
Do you want to change the account password (Y/N)? Y
You must now select a new primary password for the SYSTEST account. The
password you select must be at least 8 characters in length and cannot
be the same as the name of the account:
New password:
Verification:
%UAF-I-MDFYMSG, user record(s) updated
%VMS-I-PWD_SET, primary password for account SYSTEST set
When you have successfully set the passwords, the installation procedure creates
your rights database, which lets you manage user access to the system, and
displays the following message:
Creating RIGHTS database file, SYS$SYSTEM:RIGHTSLIST.DAT
Ignore any "-SYSTEM-F-DUPIDENT, duplicate identifier" errors
%UAF-I-RDBCREMSG, rights database created

The procedure displays the following prompts:
* Please enter SCSNODE name:
* Please enter SCSSYSTEMID:
Enter the SCSNODE name and SCSSYSTEMID that you determined as part of
the preinstallation tasks in Chapter 2.
3.8 Postinstallation Tasks Described
After the procedure creates the rights database, it displays messages describing
postinstallation tasks you might want to perform.
Note
You do not perform these tasks now. Perform them after the installation
completes.
The tasks displayed on your screen might vary from the following example,
depending on what options you chose to install earlier in the procedure.
