Power Not able to login into a HP-UX box

Hi,

I am not able to login inot a HP-UX box.

everything seems to be alright at the console. I could connect to the server,but when i give the root password, the server doesnot prompt for the password.

Please suggest.

Regards,
Sagar.

Check if the file /etc/securetty is there and if it has the word console in it. This makes it so you can only login as root on the console.

Are you in front of the console?
What model? OS?
what does uptime give you?
is sshd daemon running?
