Thanks,
But my system is not trusted system. So is it any other way..?

Check and enable it with passwd:

-s name Display some password attributes associated with the specified name. Superuser privilege and non-trusted mode is required if the files repository is specified. For nisplus, there are no restrictions.

The format of the display will be:

name status mm/dd/yy min max warn

or, if password aging information is not present

name status

where status PS=passworded; LK=locked; and NP=no password.


-d Allow user to login without a password by deleting it. In untrusted mode this unlocks/activates the user account if found locked/deactivated.



see man passwd.
