By coincidence, I actually tried out this technique earlier today for
the first time. OP is a very powerful capability, not to be given out

Gary, et al:
Everyone is working way too hard :-)
If your operator can log onto operator.sys:
file xt=mytape;dev=disc
file syslist=$stdlist
store command.pub;*xt;directory;show
Using your favorite editor or other utility search for
the string: "ALTUSER MANAGER SYS"
You will notice: PAS=<the pwd> which is your clue :-)
