password aging

Ragni Singh — Tue, 25 Feb 2003 13:47:08 GMT

Hi all, how do I reset a users lifetime password.

This is the message I keep getting.

"Password cannot be changed. Reason: password lifetime has passed"

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

# passwd -f user
force user to renew his/her passwd

your reply will not work. You can only do that as root but running passwd -f (user) as myself tells me

"access denied".

One your password has expired only root/superuser can reset it or make a new password and reset its expiry time. Do it as root using SAM or use the modprpw command.
