Thanks to all who responded.

Problem:
> We recently went through a root-password-changed-to-something-unknown
> situation. During the course of working on that problem, my terminal was
> 'disabled'. When I attempt to login to root, after having logged in as a
> non-root user, I get the following message:
> Terminal is disabled -- see Account Administrator.
>
Solution Used:
