Did you check your job log to ensure that STRNETINS did not return any warning or error?
Your use of STRNETINS command indicates that you are restoring from an NFS server. If this is the case for you, please check if the information in this Technote is useful for you or not: IBM i Network Installation Troubleshooting at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-i-network-installation-troubleshooting
Did you also review your job log of the restore process to check for any hiccup int the process?

Me neither, but there is no other chance in real cloud environment...

You are right, the recovery was started from running system via STRNETINS and it goes to the same disks.
ASP was recreated during LIC install - yes, I used option 2. in step 7...

On that note, did you use " =>2. Install Licensed Internal Code and Initialize System" on step 7?

Igor,
I reviewed my BRMS recovery report, which I've used for a fair amount of system migrations. I've looked at your link for recovering your system to a different system. I've looked also at the related link for general recovering your system. They all point to the same step 25.
All I can guess is that maybe, you've restored to this system earlier. Perhaps to test it out, verify that the SAN disk actually connects and is mapped properly or any other number of reasons. And now you are doing the production restore. The processes you are following are assuming a scratch system.
If you have done this earlier test, and have not scratched your system, then yes, there will be a QSECOFR.
Could this be the possibility?

After successful LIC and operating system restore from BRMS *SAVSYS media
the first Sign On screen (before "IPL options" screen) can't logon as user QSECOFR
due to error: "No password associated with user."
Contrary to step 25 in:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=system-recovering-your-different
which states: "You do not need to enter a password at this time."
The *SAVSYS image comes from server version V7R5M0 TR03 with C3306750 CUM & all Group PTF's applied
saved via BRMS, QNFSSYSFUL & QNFSIPLFUL control groups. LIC & OS restore was performed via TFTP & NFS from another IBM i instance.
Any idea?
