It shouldn't be the case one expects.
Try setting the simple root password or make it null (not recommended).
You can have another user created temporarily and provide it root priviledges.
Reboot the machine into multiuser mode and Check.
Let me know what your investigation says..
Good Luck!!

Are you running in trusted mode? Is shadow passwd installed?
How did you reset the password in single-user mode?

Re: Unable to reset the password for HP L2000/44 running on HP UX 11.11
How do I know in which mode system is running. I am not sure its running in trusted mode.
While booting I typed hpux -is and its booted in single user mode and i changed the passwd by passwd command. I restarted after that new password didnt worked ....

Run
# /usr/lbin/modprpw
This will report if is trusted or not trusted.
Run
# ll /etc/shadow
to check if you shadow passwords

I restarted after that new password didnt worked ....

Just wondering, did you use a @ or a # character in you new password for root?

boot into single user mode again
passwd
Set a simple password.
reboot
log in as root.
Set password normally following normal organizational rules.

1) boot in single user mode, untrust the system,change the root password, reboot, logon as root and then make the system trusted again.

You could also try nulling out the root passwd in the /etc/passwd file.
Then you can boot the system to multi user mode, do a quick su - root which is normally permitted even in very secure systems and set the root password in multi user mode.
