Changing password to unlock CDE

All:

I am running CDE on a Sunblade 150, running Solaris 8. When I click on the "lock" icon to lock my screen, I get the appropriate msg: "Display locked by user client3, enter password to unlock". The problem is, I can unlock the screen using "any" password (no matter what I type in and hit enter) or simply hitting the enter key.

I change the password for client3 on the workstation, the change is reflected in the /etc/shadow file but the problem continues.

A snippet from the nsswitch.conf is as follows. indicating /etc/passwd is being used.
passwd: files
group: files
hosts: files
ipnodes: files

I am wondering now if the CDE has an access file elsewhere that controls the unlock feature.

I would like to change the password, lock the workstation and use the new password to unlock, properly securing the workstation when not in use.

Any help is appreciated.

an old trick, enter the 'root' passwd
it will unlock every 'user'locked sessions.
