Hi:

There is none. The password field for these accounts is an asterisk ("*").

Re: HPUX Default Accounts

These are all "service" accounts or "daemon" accounts.

They should not have passwords, they are locked accounts and should stay that way.

used for running some serices like the print spooler, i.e. lp, unlocking and creating a password would circumvent the security.
