Hi,
The user passoword might have got expires. So login as root, execute passwd command to change the password of that particular user.

hi

are you sure of your password, sometimes with emulation or numeric keyboard, some problems has occured.....

Check it in writing in "clear" for exemple in login section

Hi Nandam,
The probable cause is that the user account is deactivated or password is exprired.
This can be resolved only by your Administrator,If you are a sys admin easiest way is use SAM and reactivating it or reset the password.

Hi,

password and/or user length greater than 8 characters?
Is the user in lastb?
'lastb -20' for example or 'lastb '

Hi,
Then I guess your user account get deactivated. Check for the log fails /var/adm/messages to get any details about your user account deactivated.
