Since you're only really doing this to reset the password the lack of
other devices is unimportant, all you need access to is
sys$system:sysuaf.dat.

Set/start sys$system:startup.com. I'm not aware of any file called
sys$systartup_vms.com, the site specific file is
sys$manager:systartup_vms.com.
  
You can see this yourself by doing SHOW/START when you first get to
SYSBOOT.
