Dear Managers,

We have an Alpha station 500/266 machine running DU4.0B. Two accounts
were created on it using the account manager. However, the person who did
this mistakenly locked both accounts. So at the moment no one including
the root can log into the system.

We have rebooted the system and it comes up with the
prompt ">>>". So we would like to know how we can unlock
the accounts from there.

Your assistance is most appreciated.
