PHP Boot interaction

Hi All,

I am the new boy on the Block with HP-UX.

To get to the point, I have a Hp-ux (C200) workstation running on Hp-ux 11.x Operating System. A week ago when practicing on file access permission, I have set the permission on a directory (perhaps a file I am not sure) to 0544 and did some other practices and then turned the machine off with shutdown -yh 0.

When next day I powered up my machine and wanted to login as a root through CDE, I got this message:

"account locked in the commercial security database"

I tried to interrupt the boot process (to interact with ISL ) by hitting the Esc key soon after turning the power ON, but I can not interrupt the boot process.

I turn power ON, kernel gets loaded, CDE appears ready to login.

Every time I login as root, I get the above message. I do not know what to do. To make the matter worth my system is a trusted system and am not able to log in as single user either.

Can anyone help me with this please?

Many thanks.

M.H

dxpower(8)						      System Manager's Manual							dxpower(8)

NAME
dxpower - controls energy saving features on systems that can be power managed SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/X11/dxpower DESCRIPTION
The Power Manager application, dxpower, is used to maintain and manage the power management features on computers and peripherals that can be power managed. Power Manager lets you place monitors in three power saving modes: Standby, Suspend, or Off and lets you selectively spin down inactive disks to reduce power consumption. You also can specify when you want power management features to be active: always, never, or only at a specific time of day. Privileged (root) users have the capability to set system wide power management values. Non-privileged users set power management values on their monitors for the current log in session. The Power Manager application can be invoked from: The CDE Application Manager Application Group: System_Admin System Admin Subgroup: Dai- lyAdmin If you are not using CDE, start Power Manager from the command line: # /usr/bin/X11/dxpower For more information about how to use the Power Manager application, start the application and click on the Help button. An alternative to using the Power Manager application is to set and control power management attributes from the command line by using the sysconfig command. Refer to System Administration for more information about setting and controlling power management from the command line. SEE ALSO
Commands: sysconfig(8) System Administration dxpower(8)
