     Hello all,
        I'm running DU 4.0 on an Alpha 2100A with enhanced security. Every
     time I add a new user, the account starts out locked. That's fine for
     me, and it isn't a problem, until I go to un-lock the account. I've
     found that the only way to un-lock the account is through the GUI on
     the console using the 'Account Manager' (select the user, click the
     unlock button). I'm sure there has to be a way to do this from the
     command line...I just haven't found it yet. I've done my fair share
     of reading on this, and I've tried things like :
     
        usermod -x administrative_lock_applied=0 <userid>
     
     ...but to no avail. Is there someone out there who can help?
