Re: root passwd cannot be resetted in the trusted host
:u_pwd= :\
Now, it seems that there is a space there, which is an INVALID password. To eliminate the password completely edit the file and make that line look like:
:u_pwd=:\
There should be NO SPACES anywhere on the line.
After you do that you should not be prompted for the old password when you change the password.

Re: root passwd cannot be resetted in the trusted host
Please try this
Untrust the system
/usr/sbin/tsconvert -r
Please use the following command
#passwd -f root
#passwd root
After changing the root passwd, Please bring the system in trusted mode.
#/usr/sbin/tsconvert
Note: Before carrying on this procedure, Please make sure no else is still logged into the server.
Hope this will help you.

Please don't!!!!! There's no reason to untrust the system at this point.
