Resetting Supervisor/Admin Password

Comment:
I have inhereted 3 Novell 3.12 servers, recently someone has reset the Admin password on 1 of the servers and now does not recall what it was changed too. Novell has sent me the file SETPWD.NLM but it requires that the Bindery Context be set. The command to do this per Novell is: 'Set Bindery Context = ou=Users.o=Novell'
When I attempt to do this I get the following message: 'Unknown Set parameter name Bindery Context = ou=Users.o=Novell'

Try this command
"set bindery context=.ou=users.o=novell" or "set bindery context=.users.novell"
Don't forget the leading period.

I wouldn't expect "set bindery context" would work on a NW3.12 server since the concept of trees and contexts wasn't introduced until NW4x. The only way to login to a NW3x server was/is via bindery.
"set bindery context" is normally issued on a NW4x and higher server to specify the container where any NW3x servers might reside, or any services which require a bindery connection.
