Dir Sir,

We own an Alpha Server 4100 running Digital Unix with a X-Windows
terminal
as a console. (We run CDE as the standard environment). The problem is
that
a certain user has tried to login, and
after some unsuccessful logins the terminal is now disabled. But I can
login using the text part
of the CDE. (Using the Option|Command Line Login. The System is running
Enhanced Security
and it needs to. If I change the security to BASE, it works fine, but as
I
mentioned we need ENHANCED SECURITY. 
The message is:
Terminal is disabled - see Account Administrator
I've tried to find something (to enable the terminal) in the manuals,
but
without result.....
So I'm asking.....

Yes, I've seen the ttys.db file but it is encrypted. As I don't own any
other remote X-windows terminal I can't run the xisso command to unlock the
terminal. Is there any other command to run? How can I do it from a text
terminal?
