SolutionIf not, vi the /tcb/auth/files/r/root file
remove the hash code between = and : , i.e..
:u_pwd=fBX819fJCbb2w::u_pwd=:
Then use the passwd command.
Becareful editing that file, be very careful.

Re: How to Change root password on trusted system?
You can just issue 'passwd' command for that. Do you have any problems while doing that ? If yes, what is the error message ?

Re: How to Change root password on trusted system?
If you're modifying the password file, HP recommends to use only #vipw command.
For any specific steps, let me know.
Regards,
Sanjay

Re: How to Change root password on trusted system?
We can change root passwd
by just passwd root and then upadte with pwconv.I think this will do.As pwconv will automatically update /tcb/files/auth/r file
# passwd root
oldpasswd:
new passwd:
Re-enter new passwd:
#pwconv (imp)
