Password Reset

[Hernan Otero_1]

Will a passwd reset unlock a locked account?
or must do a modprpw -k anyway?

[Denver Osborn · Accepted solution]

Nope, if you change the user's passwd or expire it, their account will still be locked out. You have to unlock the account with "/usr/lbin/modprpw -k username"
