Re: root can't login

Hi,

Login on the console.
Use below command to unlock the root account.
# /usr/lbin/modprpw -k root

Shalom,

Normally a serial console login will activate the root account.

If the recommended command fails, use sam to re-activate the account.

Also, take a look at the logs and see if it expired, or was disabled by bad logins. Trace the source of the bad logins.
