Hi,

Is your system trusted? (tcb - C2)

Then, root can always login at the console, and the account can be unlocked by the command:

/usr/lbin/modprpw -l -k root

Hope this helps,
Rik

Hi again,

When the root account is locked, you still can login as the root user on the console!

You should try that.

Bye,
Rik
