Hai Rajeshkm,

On non trusted system (hpux 11.11), I use:
# passwd -l
To disable and set a new password to enable or delete and force to set new:
# passwd -d
# passwd -f
so when login then he/she will asked to set new passwd.

Hi,
See this examples,

# passwd â d user1 # set a null password
# passwd â f user1 # fForce user to change password upon next login by expiring the current password
# passwd â l user1 # Lock or Deactivate a user account
# passwd user1 # Unlock or Reactivate a user account
# passwd -s user1 # check a userâ s password status
# passwd â sa # check the status of all users

For more information see the man pages of passwd
