    Hi Hans

    Did you check by using "su -". If that works then you
    need to delete the file /etc/securetty where console
    would be there. If su - does not work, have you ever
    created any other admin user with reboot access. If
    not, you need to give hard reboot.

    If your system has GSP console and have access, then
    do a reset via TOC; but make sure you stop all
    necessary applications that are running on the server.

    T&R
