Hi All;
I ma new unix user. I have to take care of some SA responsibilities in HP-UX (11.0).
I have huge problem and it is an emergency.
I must have locked root by putting in wrong password.
I get the message when I try to login as su "Password:
Account is disabled - see Account Administrator"
then I tried ps -ef. At the end of the list i saw
/hpapache2 -k start which I never seen before.
I would appreciate all the help that I can get to get the root FS running.
THanks in advcance

hpapache2 -k start (Looks like apache2 is running nothing wrong.

Try to interrupt the boot process by hitting ESC on the main boot screen.

Then, type &quot;boot search&quot; at the prompt. Localize your main boot partition. type &quot;boot <partition> isl&quot; OR select &quot;Y&quot; if the system eventually asks you to &quot;Interact with the ISL&quot;. Maybe &quot;boot pri isl&quot; will do it also.

It loads an ISL prompt. At the ISL> prompt type &quot;hpux -is&quot;.
After the thing loads, type &quot;/usr/sbin/mount -a&quot;.

After all you can finally change your passwd, try &quot;passwd root&quot;. Or u can edit /etc/passwd and strip the encoded password that is there (stuff between the 1st and 2nd ´:´),
...reboot the machine after &quot;/usr/sbin/shutdown -r now&quot;

Good luck.
