root account reactivation

[Prefect]

Hi all,

When I try to login with root I get the following message "The root account has been deactivated"

How can I reactivate the root acount on my system.

Thank you for all the help in advance.

Hi Mataz,

You should be able to login to root at the console of your system.

# /usr/lbin/modprpw -k root
to unlock the root account.

Best regards,

Login to the console.

The root login is (should) always be available from the console.

Use the /usr/lbin/modprpw command to activate/refreash the account.

/usr/lbin/modprpw -k root
