Not easily.

But since you can log on as operator.sys, you should be able to store off the system directory to tape, as follows:

:file t;dev=tape
:store command.pub;*t;directory 

Now that you have the directory on tape, you should be able to attend around with fcopy (and the ;char;her options) to find the password(s) for manager.sys.

And that's all assuming you haven't implemented the directory encryption feature available with the optional HP security product whose name escapes me.
