Unlock root account hp ux

[Ganesan R]

Hi Jeg,

Since you cannot login, only way is reset the password in single user mode. Normally it will not ask the root password when you boot into single user mode unless or until you have configured to ask the password in trusted mode configurations. Normally people won't do that.

Since you cannot login, power recycle the box first. On the console, interrupt the auto boot sequence when it ask you press any key. It will take you to BCH menu.

On BCH menu> bo pri

Interact with IPL? give "Y"

It will take you to ISL prompt. On ISL prompt type the below command.

ISL>hpux -is

Now system will boot into single user mode. You can reset the root password using "passwd" command.

But change the password will unlock your root account.
