PRIMENET 19.2.7F PPOA1
If it doesn't give a welcome msg like above trying typing something like
"XXZZZUUU" and hit return and it should come back with:
Invalid command "XXZZZUUU". (logo$cp)
Login please.
ER!
To login you type:
LOGIN <USER ID> <RETURN/ENTER>
Or Just:
LOGIN <RETURN/ENTER>
(Then it will ask for your "User ID?")
User ids differ from system to system but there are ALWAYS default accounts to
try. For "User ID?" try...
SYSTEM (This is the operators account and with it you can usually do
anything.)
LIB
DOS
After you enter your User ID it will prompt you with:
Password?
This is of course, where you enter your password. For SYSTEM try...
SYSTEM
SYSMAN
NETLINK
PRIMENET
MANAGER
OPERATOR
And anything else you can think of. These are just common passwords to these
defaults.
For LIB try...
LIBRARY
SYSLIB
LIB
SYSTEM
For DOS try...
DOS
SYSDOS
SYSTEM
Etc...Just use your brain.
*Older Versions*
On older versions of Primos, 18 and below, you could enter one of the system
defaults above and hit CTRL-C once or twice for the password and it would drop
you into the system. Whether this is a bug or intentional I don't really have
any idea. But it does work sometimes. To see what ver of Primos your trying to
logon to just look at the welcome message when you logon:
PRIMENET 19.2.7F PPOA1
19 is the version number. So thus, if you were logging on to this particular
Prime you would NOT be able to use the above mentioned bug/default-password.
By the way, if you do not know what version it is (because it did not give you
a welcome msg when you connected...try to do the above mentioned anyway.)
Now, if it says:
Invalid user id or password; please try again.
Then you must try a different password. Notice, that the system informs you
that either the User ID, the password or both are wrong. Don't worry about
this...just hack the defaults. There have been a lot of rumors spreading
around about common defaults such as: PHANTOM, PRIMOS, PRIME & FAM, but I
believe this to be a load of shit. I have never seen a system with these
defaults on them. But, as far as PRIMOS and PRIME go, these are sometimes
common accounts but I really don't believe that they are defaults. Also try
accounts like DEMO & GUEST. These are sometimes common accounts (but never
very often).
Primos does not have limited commands before logon such as Tops 20 and DEC. So
hacking a Primos is really nothing but taking a guess.
** No passwords **
Some users have been known to use a carriage return for their password which
