Hi m4x

 

either you can delete account or reenable for that please follow below steps

 

1) The first task to complete after the install was to change the  password of the root login. This was done with the command /bin/passwd  as shown below.

/bin # passwd --help
BusyBox v1.9.1-VMware-visor-654 (2008-12-17 10:01:32 PST) multi-call binary

Usage: passwd [OPTION] [name]

Change a user password. If no name is specified,  changes the password for the current user.

Options:
-a      Define which algorithm shall be used for the password
(choices: des, md5)
-d      Delete the password for the specified user account
-l      Locks (disables) the specified user account
-u      Unlocks (re-enables) the specified user account

Yours, Abbie
