I assume this is for the root password?  Or do you want to remove this for all users?

What does "whence passwd" show?  There is one in /sbin/ that doesn't check.

Hi,

yes this is for root password only.

and i resolving this issue

New password:
Password too short - must be at least 7 characters
New password:
The password entered is not valid.  Valid passwords must contain at least:
          1 upper case character(s),
          1 lower case character(s),
          1 digit(s), and
          1 special character(s).

but still i need to remove

# passwd
Changing password for root
Old password:

i don't want to ask me what is the old password when i try to change the password.

Please answer my questions about the path to passwd, there are two and one does what you want.

Hi,

I have changed my system to trusted mode but unfortunately my root passwd changed without my knowledge. If I tried to change it asks for old passwd. What I have it is not accepting. How I can change the passwd or wnats to revert back to non trust mode..

Pls help..

yes you want to revert back to non trust mode by this command 

# /usr/lbin/tsconvert  –r

then you can change the password. and in case you can't login to system direct, login to system from a console and then execute the above command.

and if you can't login to server from both way you must to reboot server and interrupt boot process and make

something

Thanks
