cannot change password when password has been expired

[Andy Ch]

login: user1
Password:
Your password has expired. Choose a new one
Changing password for user1
Old password:
Sorry.

There is no problem on changing the password by root or by user (at unix prompt). However, if the password expired, when the user login and entered the old password, then it only returned the "Sorry" and then back to the login prompt again.

Hi,

Clear the password for user1 and then reset it in 2 steps.

prompt> /usr/sam/lbin/usermod.sam -F -p "" user1

prompt> modprpw -k user1

Thanks,
Srikanth

Hello,

You can use the commands listed below as root. If you use the getprpw command and it return "1" in any colume then the account is locked. use the modprpw to unlock thew account. you can also do a man on these commands.

#getprpw -r -m lockout usedid
#modprpw -k userid

Why not reset the account in SAM an use SAM to set the new passwd?
