Re: Question on root password change
As long as you aren't using NIS or possibly trusted mode?, you should be able to use /sbin/passwd.

Actually the way to go is to null it out
restart your machine.
If you have a console ctrl-b, login and then use the rs command.
Power switch only if no user can soft boot the machine.
Interupt at the console at the 10 second prompt
bo
Y Interact
hpux -is
You will now boot single user mode.
mount /var
mount /tmp
You may need to use the fill path of the mount command.
vi /tcb/files/auth/r/root
change:
:u_pwd=YfdfdTmswL7o/.:\
to
:u_pwd=:\
null it out and save it.
passwd
Set the root password and remember it this time.
Done.
