root password disabled - trusted
Somehow my HPUX 11.23 (rx2620 trusted) root's password disabled today. Can anyone assist on how to reboot the system properly. FYI, in /etc/shutdown.allow contain nothing/blank.
= 5 points
Correct me if I'm wrong with the steps below.
1- reboot single user
2- mount /usr
3- /usr/bin/modprpw -k
(anything missing here?) = 5 points
4- passwd root
5- reboot
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Re: root password disabled - trusted
1 - go to the system console
2 - login as root (even if root account is disabled, it will work on the console!)
3 - passwd root
No reboot needed.

Re: root password disabled - trusted
But still i cannot login from the console.
Is there any diff between serial console or vga console?. I dont thinks so.
So ..i think i need to do force reboot.
Anyone can give any suggestion before I proceed with the last option......
S.O.S

Re: root password disabled - trusted
What console you are currently login, Use serial.If you are still not able to login through console then boot the server into single user mode and reset the password.

Re: root password disabled - trusted
1 - reboot to single-user
2 - mount -o remount,rw /
3 - mount /usr
4 - /usr/lbin/modprpw -k root
5 - /usr/lbin/modprpw -v root
6 - passwd root
7 - "init 3" to let the system resume normal startup, or reboot.
Without step 2 you cannot make any changes to the password database.
Step 4 unlocks the root account if it has become locked.
Step 5 refreshes the account if someone has set a lifetime limit on it.
