Aix: Unlock user account AIX

Procedure to change the password on a server

# passwd

Note: The account needs to be reset if when trying to log in the following message is received:

3004-303 There have been too many unsuccessful login attempts; please see
the system administrator.

Procedure to reset the account:

# chsec -f /etc/security/lastlog -a \
"unsuccessful_login_count=0" -s

# chuser "account_locked=false"


on the other hand, edit this file:
# vi /etc/security/lastlog

and reset this field to zero: unsuccessful_login_count = 0
