Reset user account in AIX
This seems to be the trouble week. After struggling with Websphere errors, then it was DB2 and now AIX. I changed my password, but at the same time I had an FTP connection opened to the machine using SmartFTP client. It happens that the connection timed out and the FTP client tried to login again.. and again and again… with the old password
Result: account blocked! Message displayed:
3004-303 There have been too many unsuccessful login attempts; pleasesee the system administrator.
Procedure to reset the account:
1. chsec -f
/etc/security/lastlog -a "unsuccessful_login_count=0" -s username
2.
chuser
"account_locked=false" username
