I usually check first:
Code:
/usr/lbin/getprpw -r -m lockout <username>
#Then reactivate:
/usr/lbin/modprpw -k <username>
#verify exit status(=0)
You can try to null out old password and change it.
Code:
# /usr/sam/lbin/usermod.sam -F -p "" <username>
But is your system trusted or using a shadow or what?
