My account is locked account name rajesh. I am unable to login.but we don't have direct root login.how to change the root password.
If any procedure is there to change root password

[Patrick Wallek]

If you cannot login as root, either directly or with a utility like sudo, then you can't change the password without rebooting the system.

You will likely have to reboot the system, come up in single-user mode, mount the VG00 file systems, and then change your password.

Be aware that to boot in single-user  mode you will have to have access to the system console via the GSP / MP / iLO or via a serial attached console.
