Re: account question
You could try cycling through "temporary" passwords until you have exceeded the 'PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH' in '/etc/default/security'. See the manpages for 'security(4)'.

Re: account question
# First un-expire the password
/usr/lbin/modprpw -v
# Unlock the username if it is locked
/usr/lbin/modprpw -k
# Set the password to never expire
/usr/lbin/modprpw -m mintm=0,exptm=0,lftm=0,expwarn=0
...or use SAM.

Re: account question
you can also do it by moving your secuity file and change the password and after changing, move the security back to its place.
# cd /etc/default
# mv security security.orig
# passwd
# mv security.orig security

Re: account question
You can go thrpugh the file /etc/default/security and find some of the password policy is denying you to reuse the sam. You can either disable that option permanently by "vi".
