Hi


In normal case, can enable the root account by go to single user mode:

#shutdown -ry 0
Waiting for interruption during booting time.
Then boot interactive with ISL
ISL> hpux -is

#passwd
---->change the root password.

Forgot it...
Is your system is trusted system?
Have you tried to login with console login?
If you can still login with console, use this command:
/usr/lbin/modprpw -k root

Goodluck!

Hi
You can disable the root login, but it is not advisable, especially if your system is in trusted mode.

I feel u need to disable the direct root login, can u clarify the same.
If you want to disable the direct root login edit the /etc/securetty and put the enry
'/dev/console' and also you need to put an entry for the 'sudo root group name' in /etc/default/security file..

Revert with your actual requirements, so that we will be in a better position to help you
