Hi,

If you are running a trusted system your local user passwords will be stored in a database in /tcb/file/auth and all the user password fields in /etc/passwd will have an asterick.

Also might want to check if you have shadow passwords enabled: /etc/shadow.

On a trusted system you use:

/usr/lbin/modprpw -k username

On a non-trusted system:

passwd -d username

Man page states:

-d Allow user to login without a password by deleting it.
In untrusted mode this unlocks/activates the user
account if found locked/deactivated.

If you have Standard Mode Security Extensions installed - check with:

swlist|grep -i std

Then take a look at userdbset command:

userdbset -d -u username auth_failures

HTH,

In Trusted system, all encrypted passwords are stored in files in the /tcb/files/auth directory.

# /usr/lbin/modprpw -k
to enable

Hi Swaraj,

You should be root user to enable you account.

enable as per below command

# /usr/lbin/modprpw -k

How check my user account locked

# /usr/lbin/getprpw -l

If you /tcb --> directory "exist" means its trsuted system or if you perform the command mention above .also will tell you command can be excuted System not trusted.
