Account/password problem on J2240 and J6000 series workstations.
"Account locked in the commercial security database."
I could simply reactivate normal user accounts, but the root is locked on a couple of the machines as well. In addition, the secure flag is set to on, so I can't just go to single user mode either. Anyway to fix this for root?

Re: Account/password problem on J2240 and J6000 series workstations.
By default, if you enabled trustedness on the system, the number of unsuccessful attempts would be set to 3 which is in most of the cases too less. So, you will often find the accounts being disabled. You can increase this number.
modprpw -m umaxlntr=10 root
About single user mode, you can disable it by running the command
modprpw -m bootpw=NO root
modprdef will change the system wide parameters which means all the users will inherit these values if they were not customized.

Re: Account/password problem on J2240 and J6000 series workstations.
When my root account gets locked the message is Account diabled
Nothing more.
I suspect the presenece of third party software or scripting that you have not told us about yet.
You can if you have root access null out the root password.
Assuming the system is trusted, this is done like this:
vi /etc/files/auth/r/root
erase the data between the = and : on the u_pwd line.
Now root has no password.
Very quickly run the passwd command as root.
You also might have an unauthorized login attempt as root, such as a hacker, external or internal. I'm attaching a script that checks that.

Re: Account/password problem on J2240 and J6000 series workstations.
It has always been the case that accounts would display this message when locked, when trying to login via the CDE. It just magically happened with the password expirations on multiple machines over the weekend for root, which I've never had happen before. I caught the rest and preventatively changed their passwords so I wasn't totally shut out.
And yes, all machines are trusted systems. I will try your suggestions and see what happens. My normal login has root privlidges, but can't modify user accounts(that I know of) like root can - especially root's password. It seems like your trick just uses this privlidge to get to see/edit the password file.. Correct?

Re: Account/password problem on J2240 and J6000 series workstations.
No. These parameters are not specified in /etc/passwd file. There is a seperate trusted database under the tree of /tcb. You can find each account in the directory structure /tcb/files/auth/
But I suggest you don't trick it by editing these files. modprpw/modprdef are for this purpose.

Re: Account/password problem on J2240 and J6000 series workstations.
It may say account locked but login possible in no windows mode ... it should let you in
then try:
#modprpw -k root
#passwd root
good luck
