A subscriber was at client's site recently trying to fix a problem that had
occurred but was unable to gain access to the account as the user had
forgotten the password. SYSPROG was also protected and the subscriber
queried whether there was any way of getting in, other than installing
another version of AREV and attaching the files from another directory.

A simple loophole on most systems is BUMP. BUMP is a user on the SYSPROG
account, and is almost never password protected. Thus to gain access, simply
log in as AREV BUMP. Once at the BUMP screen, press F10 or F5 and you have
complete SYSPROG access. If you wish to ensure a secure system, make sure
BUMP is password protected!
