Didn't you say here that you just finished an AIX course?

Anyway, the account should become unlocked when you change the password or by using
Code:
chuser "account_locked=false" <userid>

i read some where ... that we should use the following commad.

1. chsec -f/etc/security/lastlog -a unsucessful_login_count=0 -s username
2. chuser account_locked =false username..
Is it necessary to run first cmd or second cmd itself is enough.
