Re: root account locked.
I believe that your only recourse is to interrupt and boot into single-user mode.

Re: root account locked.
I may not be technically correct but . . .
If you want to know what I mean by console I mean a physical monitor that connects directly to the back of the server.
Itanium is the brand name for 64-bit Intel microprocessors that implement the Intel Itanium architecture (formerly called IA-64). Intel has released two processor families using the brand: the original Itanium and the Itanium 2.
We had HP-UX 9000's with monitors that we all referred to as the console.

Re: root account locked.
You should always be able to log into the server from the MP console, as root, even if the account is locked.

Re: root account locked.
I would open a call with HP about this issue. Something is definitely not behaving correctly. Perhaps it is a firmware issue. HP should, hopefully, be able to help you diagnose the issue.

Re: root account locked.
Yes, I know that the MP console should act like a serial terminal.
I try my best not to lock the password but sometimes stuff happens.

Re: root account locked.
When I have time I will pursue the console thing again.

Re: root account locked.
Yes, but HP sells Integrity servers.
Perhaps Steven wanted to know which model?
Have you looked at these threads?

A graphics display or a serial terminal?
Using what for input, a keyboard and mouse,
or a serial terminal?
If you don't have a "real console", what _do_
you have? And how does it differ from a
"real console"?
> Itanium is the brand name [...]
Gee, thanks.
> Perhaps Steven wanted to know which model?
Amazingly, yes. Or do you think that they're
all the same? Or even that their console
connections are all the same?
Sometimes it's helpful to describe your
environment precisely and accurately, and to
show exactly what you did, and what happened
when you did it. Or, you can describe things
vaguely, and hope that some psychic can
divine what you really meant. Sometimes it
works. Often it doesn't.
