When IBM® ships a server, both a QSECOFR i5/OS™ user profile and a QSECOFR service tools user ID are supplied. These are not the same. They exist in different locations and are used to access different functions.
Your QSECOFR service tools user ID can have a different password from your QSECOFR i5/OS user profile. Service tools user IDs have different password policies than i5/OS user profiles.
If you lose or forget the passwords for both the QSECOFR i5/OS user profile and the QSECOFR service tools user ID, you might need to install your operating system again to recover them. For this reason, it is recommended that you create multiple profiles and user IDs. Contact your service provider for assistance. If you know either of these passwords, this information tells you how to recover the password you do not know.
