Looks like time to go into single user mode and reset the root password.

If you have remsh enabled on your server,
#remsh server -n " /usr/lbin/modprpw -k root" or reboot your server in single user mode.
GSP>hpux -is

Hi,

In the single user mode, run the following command in order to unlock root account:

/usr/lbin/modprpw -k root
