non-trusted? as root, run "passwd -s -a"

anything with status LK is locked. man passwd for more info

Also on non-trusted, if the password field (second field) has an "*" in it then it is disabled.

Thank you very much old school and Tim. passwd -s -a command really worked for me. This is what the command i was searching for. Thank you once again.
