Thanks to those who responded to my question:
How do you fix "Account is disabled - see Account Administrator"??

This is a C2 security issue. To fix:

go to /tcb/files/auth

pick the first letter of the user name (e.g. a for alfa)

cd a

edit the file with the user's name so that u_numunsuclog#0
instead of #10 (or some other large number)

OR

use the XWindows Sysadmin utility

Yes, I will go review the manual too !!

(who ever heard of a secure Unix box anyway ? ;-)

Thanks again,

KP
