That was an add-on that was bolted onto TOPS-10 later. It was possible, through injudicious settings in the control file (ACCESS.USR?), to deny even a privileged user access to a file, including ACCESS.USR. If you painted yourself into that corner, the only way out was to either kill FILDAE or directly edit the file protection codes on disk.
