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?

The right fix for this situation is to reset the unsuccessful login counts for the user, not to disable a security feature.
Run:
chuser unsuccessful_login_count=0 adam
to clear the unsuccessful login counts for adam, and:
chuser account_locked=false adam
if needed (see if the account is locked with: lsuser -a account_locked adam).
