Im trying to reset a user password locally using the root account. The user is adam. Everything looks ok when I type in passwd adam using the root account. It prompts me to enter new password, enter the new password again.
Afterwards, When I putty in to the server and login in as adam using the new password, I get access denied. How do I resolve this issue?
