Hello
How can I enable the root account
Please help me
thank you
 
if you mean that the account is locked within C2 security (enhanced). If you do have root access to the system (already logged into the system prior to the account being locked), and have X capabilities, you could use dxaccounts to unlock it this way...

but if not, you can still login via the console as root and use edauth to change it...

# edauth root
(find u_lock, if it has u_lock@ then its unlocked, it it just has u_lock, then insert an @)

also if it doesnt have a u_lock, find the chkent, and before add u_lock@: before it :) seperator)

that should do it...
