This is ok.
Unlike a CISCO router, the DECserver password gets reset to a default one
and not to a nonexisting one. The default priv password is "system".

See above. The password is unknown only to you.

It's Control-B Control-B and not Break-Break.
And it does unfortunately not work for the older DECserver 90TL.
Does anyone know a way for the DS90TL ?

This is normal for a non-configured server.

ACCESS is the default "login" PASSWORD (not USERNAME), which is by default
only enabled on the remote console. So it doesn't apply in your case.
(on a DS90M login password and remote password are separate, on a DS90TL
they are the same)
You could choose any username you like. It is not checked against anything,
only entered in RAM and displayed when a SHOW PORT or SHOW USER is done.
If you enter ^Z at the username, the (default) portname is used as username
(eg. PORT_1).
>Shouldn't reseting factor defaults reset the priviledged password?
It does. And it resets the other passwords (Login pwd = access,
Maint pwd = 000000000000, Remote pwd = access) too.
