Depending on your version of HP-UX, change the "crypted password" field in the /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file in a string which never can be generated.
Commonly a "*" or something like "NP" is used.
Whatever the password is, it can never result in a crypted string which is equal to "*" or "NP".
Too unlock the account, simply set a new password for the locked account using, as "root", the command "passwd <user>"

auth_enumerate
AUTH_ENUMERATE(3) Double Precision, Inc. AUTH_ENUMERATE(3)
NAME
auth_enumerate - Obtain list of accounts
SYNOPSIS
#include <courierauth.h>
auth_enumerate(int (*callback_func) (const char *, uid_t, gid_t, const char *, const char *, const char *, void *), void *callback_arg);
DESCRIPTION
auth_enumerate enumerates all of the available accounts. auth_enumerate repeatedly calls callback_func, once for each account.
callback_func receives the following arguments:
o Account name.
o Account's numeric userid.
o Account's numeric groupid.
o Account's home directory.
o Account's mailbox (if defined, may be NULL, which indicates the default mailbox location).
o Account's options string (if defined, may be NULL)
o callback_arg, verbatim.
After invoking callback_func for the last account, auth_enumerate invokes callback_func one more time with all parameters set to NULL or 0.
If auth_enumerate encounters an error it will terminate without calling callback_func with all NULL or 0 parameters. This can be used to
determine whether a partial list of accounts was received.
Note
Some back-end Courier authentication modules do not implement account enumeration, so this function may not be available in all
configurations.
