[SKR_1 · Accepted solution]

/usr/lbin/modprpw -k username ( to unlock )
/usr/lbin/modprpw -x username ( to reset password )

Or you can use SAM also.

Thanks

Hi Pratibha,

If your system in trusted mode then use
#modprpw - k

Check the manpages for it

Hi Pratibha,

You can check ur system is in trusted mode or not by using
#cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $2}'

the output of the above command will be * only.

Easy way is to use SAM.

Also

#usr/lbin/modprpw -k

You need root login for this.

You can use "getprpw -r -m lockout userid" to check if the account is locked. You can also do a "getprpw userid" get set was is set for that user. To unlock the account.

#modprpw -k userid

/usr/lbin/getprpw userid ==> to check whether user id is locked

/usr/lbin/modprpw -k userid ==> to unlock userid


check man pages of getprpw and modprpw for more details...
