To re-enable a disabled user account on the system using SAM:

Select the Accounts for users and groups section.
Select users.
Select the user account that is disabled.
With the disabled user account selected, go to the top of the screen and select Actions.
Select Reactivate to reactivate the disabled account.

Hi , actually sam is not working, so it need some command based.

Hi,

You could make use of

usermod -x administrative_lock_applied=0 "User account"
from super user account.

If there are too many condition for disabling an account use then,

usermod -x grace_limit=1
will bypass most of the disabling conditions
for one day. This allows the user to log in
and clear the disabling condition

Thanks,
Srikanth

#passwd -d loginname ---- to enable login


fyi:-

passwd -d

Allow user to login without a password by deleting it.This option unlocks/activates the user account if found locked/deactivated.

On a trusted system, try
/usr/lbin/modprpw -k l343871

This will unlock/enable the user's account.

To see if a user's account is locked and why use;
/usr/lbin/getprpw -m lockout l343871

do a mna on getprpw to see what the bit positions mean.

Sorry, that was meant to be do a "man" on getprpw.

[skt_skt]

see this details too. modprpw is the one need.


It only takes one of these settings to equal 1 for the account to be locked.


Active user account:
$ /usr/lbin/getprpw -r -m lockout user1
0000000

Deactivated (locked) user account:
$ /usr/lbin/getprpw -r -m lockout user2
0000001


REASON[1]="past password lifetime"
REASON[2]="past last login time"
REASON[3]="past absolute account lifetime"
REASON[4]="exceeding unsuccessful login attempts"
REASON[5]="password required and a null password"
REASON[6]="admin lock"
REASON[7]="password is a *"

As stated above.

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