root password is still invalid after resetting

Hi AIX Gurus,

I've purchased a second hand pSeries and don't know the root password. I've used the following instruction to reset root password and everything seems just fine. However, after it reboots, the system still says the root password I used is invalid. I really don't know why. I did use "sync; sync; sync; reboot" after resetting root password. Please help. Thank you in advance.
