Trusted System locked my terminal

[Valkiria Santos]

Hello everybody.

I access my HP-UX from a workstation as root, but I don??t get access my system because trusted lock my terminal. I recieved the follow message: acount is disable - see account administrator. Hit for enter and try again.
I can do telnet, but I don??t remember how unlock this terminal, something like in the file /tcb/files/aut/r/root ????

Thanks,

Valkiria

Valkiria,

If you can telnet to your workstation, then use sam to unlock the account.

Mrs, I search in all fiels of sam for users and trusted and not found anything....
Could you explaim for me with more details?

[harry d brown jr]

Are you having problems accessing your workstation or your server?

Do you have the root passwords for both the workstation and the server?

Harry, I need access my workstation (HPC110) logged as root... but I get access my server (as root) from telnet from any workstation.

I??m root! - joke - I??m a system adminitrator.


Tkts.

Valkiria,

So your workstation is locked, but you can access it from another workstation, correct?

Yes Harry..you right...doing telnet I can get access for my server...only the HPC110 is locked.

Telnet into your work station, If you set your display back to the workstation your are using to telnet from, then you can use the graphical version of sam. I don't use the character one, so my instructions slightly lame:

start sam,
select accounts for users and groups,
select users,
highlight root,
right mouse button click,
reactivate.

Hello,

I do not like to interrupt your discussion on using menus and/or GUIs, but if you can login as super-user (other than "root"), wouldn't it be worth to try

/usr/lbin/modprpw -k root
or
/usr/lbin/modprpw -x root

and be done? :-)

Regards,
Wodisch
PS: I'll never seem to be able to remember which option is for "root" only, it's either "-x" or "-k"...

[harry d brown jr]

Good point there Wodisch, shows you how often I use the command line --- like not to often...

Make sure your terminal is listed in the /tcb/files/ttys file.

Hi Valkiria,

Take a look at this thread,

http://us-support2.external.hp.com/cki/bin/doc.pl/sid=948c0e0b04d62f73b0/screen=ckiDisplayDocument?docId=200000024602436

The file you should be looking at is "/tcb/files/ttys"

Hope this helps.

Ok, I had this happen when the passwd or group file was corrupted.

Reboot the system.
Interrupt the boot.
enter bo pri
and answer yes to interract with the OS.
at the > prompt enter hpux -s
This will get you into single user mode without a password.

Then you can check the passwd/group file and try it again.

Good luck

Hi Valkiria,

the only thing you have to do is to logon in textmode as root on your workstation ( on graphic login screen klick command line login ) and then root will be unlocked.

Allways stay on the bright side of life!
