Firstly I must say that I don't have an AIX 7 server. The CDE is controlled by the dtlogin daemon. The command to run is:-
It is usual to have a script in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d called S99dtlogin or similar to do this for you when the server boots. Note the capital S marks this be run with a parameter start during the boot.
This might be in rc3.d if your run-level is 3. Check this by looking at /etc/inittab
Separately, have a look at this for an IBM AIX root password resetYou should get a list of useful sites and even a you-tube video walking you through the process. For this reason you must keep your console (physical serial console, serial console server or HMC managed) very secure.
