root was disabled

[j773303]

When I login to root, the "root was disable" would shows, but the console still can login root. In my envirionment it has trusted system.
But it could be login root after for a while. Does anyone has experience about this problems?
Thanks.

You (or someone) have tried to access the system with user root and incorrect password. The default number of attempts in trusted system is 3. Try to re-activate the user via SAM.

Hi,

I think that you have accessed wrong password so it was locked.

Have a look at the man page of 'getprpw' and 'modprpw' it says more how to solve the problem.

# modprpw -k root

reactivatation of the root.

This shows one of the better reasons to install the 'sudo' product.

To unlock use:

# /usr/lbin/modprpw -k root

/usr/lbin/modprpw -k root
is indeed for the 3 times wrong login,
do not forget the
/usr/lbin/modprpw -v root
is if you passwd change time has to be set to 0,
