Re-Enable my root Account

Root Account is disabled - see Account Administrator

When your HP-UX system is in the more secure "trusted system" mode, your account is automatically disabled after you have entered your password incorrectly 3 times in a row. At this point, even if you enter the correct password, you will not be allowed access into the account.

There are a few options to re-enable the account:

• If you have access to the system console you can login using the root account from the console (this will automatically re-enable the account). Even when the account is disabled, login from the console will be allowed by default.
• If you have another root account on the system, you can login using that account and reset the disabled user account using SAM.

To re-enable a disabled user account on the system using SAM:

1. Select the “Accounts for users and groups” section.
2. Select “users.”
3. Select the user account that is disabled.
4. With the disabled user account selected, go to the top of the screen and select “Actions.”
5. Select “Reactivate” to reactivate the disabled account.

Note: Very important thing that u have to remember, when giving a password DON'T GIVE "@" CHARACTER IN PASSWORD. By mistakenly if any body uses the "@" character in password then use "\" before @ Symbol.

EX:If your Present Password is "3N%@Bb!8" then use this password "3N%\@Bb!8" after login into console user. 100% it will work
The @ character is the problem. It is the default cancel-entry character, just like # is the default backspace character. These defaults are leftover from the days of teletypewriters. It doesn't matter what OS you use, there will be special characters that you must avoid. Just stay away from the special chars across the top of your keyboard.
