    1. <Ctrl/Y>
      Username:  HOFFMAN
      Password:  <PASSWORD>

      In this example, pressing Ctrl/Y allows you to access the
      operating system, which immediately prompts for a user name.
      After validating the user name, the system prompts for the
      password but does not echo it.

      Username:  HIGGINS/DISK=USER$
      Password: <PASSWORD>

      $ SHOW DEFAULT
        USER$:[HIGGINS]

      In this Alpha example, the /DISK qualifier requests that
      the default disk for the terminal session be USER$. The SHOW
      DEFAULT command shows that USER$ is the default disk.

      This example shows the "User authorization failure" message,
      which indicates that the password has been entered incorrectly.
      After you successfully log in, a message is displayed showing
      the number of login failures since your last successful login.
      This message is displayed only if login failures have occurred.
