Resetting an unknown root password The following procedure describes how to recover access to root privileges when the system's root password is unavailable or unknown. The following procedure requires some system downtime. If possible, schedule your downtime when it least impacts your workload to protect yourself from a possible loss of data or functionality. The information in this how-to scenario was tested using specific versions of AIX®. The results you obtain might vary significantly depending on your version and level of AIX. Insert the product media for the same version and level as the current installation into the appropriate drive. Power on the machine. When the screen of icons appears, or when you hear a double beep, press the F1 key repeatedly until the System Management Services menu appears. Select Multiboot. Select Install From.

Problem(Abstract) The administrator logs in to the ISC (Integrated Solution Console), but when they try to access a TSM Server from the Admin Center (AC), it fails saying the TSM administrator password has expired and to reset it from the service property notebook. When the ISC administrator tries to reset the password from the Administration Center (AC) service property notebook it also fails, saying that the administrator password has expired. Resolving the problem To reset the TSM administrator password in AC for a TSM server, delete and recreate the TSM server connection within Admin Center, which will allow you to enter and use the current TSM administrator password. 1. Delete the server connection. From ISC -> TSM -> Server Maintenance, select the drop down action: Remove Server Connection 2. Update the TSM administrator password from the TSM administration command line (dsmadmc): update admin 3. Recreate the TSM server connection wit...

In AIX 5.2 and 5.3(pre TL7), there has been a 8 character password limitation when using the one-way hash function crypt(). AIX 5.3 TL7 and AIX 6.1 introduce Loadable Password Algorithm (LPA). Each supported password encryption algorithm is implemented as a LPA load module that is loaded at runtime when the algorithm is needed. The supported LPAs, and its attributes, are defined in system configuration file /etc/security/pwdalg.cfg. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the different algorithms are MD5---------------->255 SHA1--------------->255 SHA265------------->255 SHA512------------->255 Blowfish----------->72 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Without the pwd_algorithm entry in /etc/security/login, the default value is "crypt" which is the legacy crypt() function. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
