HPUX 9000 login problem

[Kukania]

When I try to login remotely to my server as root it gives me error message: "Account is disabled -- see Account Administrator." Moreover, when I use any other account it gives me this: "Login incorrect Wait for login retrie: .."
I know that the other account works for sure, since I have been able to connect to local console in SINGLE USER MODE and create that account, I also tried resetting password for root but it didn't bring any results! Trying from other systems, none of the rsh or ssh commands works to this server. You guys have any suggestions what might by wrong?

You need to reactivate the account.

Its been disabled for laock of use or to many bad login attempts.

To enabled the accounts on the trusted system, use "/usr/lbin/modprpw -k login" command. To enable root's account, login directly from the console and issue the command.

Thanks lots for your advices guys; however, i didn't apply any of them yet. When I came back today morning to work HPUX worked fine. I guess there was some time interval to reset itself after the account got locked out. I am happy to see that working but I still don't understand why 20 other user accounts were not working when root was disabled yesterday. Anyway, thanks.
