No matter in which mode you are using it - single or multiuser.
Another way is to disable it via sam.

Command is:
#passwd -x 0 root

>>>i said that i have not the root password. how can i use sam?<<

IS your System trusted System.?

You mean to say that you d'not have root password.? Or are you using privildge id to change the password agging for root account .?

You need to be root user (or) privildge id to change password agging for root account.

How can i use SAM.?

step1 :- Login:- root (or) root equalate privildge id
step2 :- SAM
step3 :- Select Users&Groups --> User -->Find->Sreach->select the root account
than look for Modify Security policy.

Hope this helps

Thx,
Johnson

When you get this error:

# passwd -x 0 root
Option x not available using /sbin/passwd
Must invoke /bin/passwd to use option.
Usage: passwd name

It menas /sbin is in your path before /bin is.

Simply execute:

/bin/passwd -x 0 root

and it'll work.

For changing password in single user mode
If your OS is HP-UX
From OS -->init 1
From BCH shell-->hpux -is

If your OS is Linux
From OS ---->init 1
At the os booting time write linux1 at the end of kernel version

If helps it , pls assign points
