No "to."

The officer said ,' you must not park there."

Well the equivalent of must is have to.
so ,in the past it becomes had to :
The indirect form is then:
The officer said (ordered) that I had not to park there.
If you say: did not have to;it would mean you were not obliged to as if you could choose between parking or not parking which is not the case.

Thanks.But, it is my first time to see such a structure,I had not to park here.

'Had' is followed by p.p

'Had' is followed by p.p

Obligation is expressed by:
1) must or have to+verb for the present tense.you must/have to do your hmk.
2) will have to +verb for the future.you will have to do your hmk.
3) had to+verb for the past. you had to do your hmk.
4) has had to +verb for the present perfect.you have had to do it again and again
5) had had to+verb for the past perfect.you had had to do it before the test.
(hmk=homework).We are dealing here with OBLIGATION:
NOT PARKING IN THE PLACE INDICATED BY THE OFFICER (or the sign post)IS AN OBLIGATION.
HAVE+P.P (PRESENT PERFECT) OR HAD+P.P (PAST PERFECT ) is another story.
I hope I have been of some help.

That's because it's incorrect. It's not used in negation.

You had to -- an obligation. I agree.
You had not to -- wrong.


You'll have to pick other phrasing.

I was not allowed to.
I was forbidden to.

Sorry if I made such a mistake cause I myself needed to be reminded.Thanks BARB.And sorry NADO.

The officer said ,' you must not park there."

The indirect form of the above is: The officer said [that] you must not park there.
You could also say: The officer told you not to park there. But that is not a precise indirect equivalent of the direct statement.
