 +Feb 25 23:18:17 teepee sshd[11597]: User nx not allowed because account is locked

-      - If the password is locked unlock it with:\\ ''passwd -u nx''+      - If the password is locked, you can unlock it with:\\ ''passwd -u nx''\\ If that fails because of this error:<code> 
 +passwd: unlocking the password would result in a passwordless account. 
 +You should set a password with usermod -p to unlock the password of this account. 
 +</code> then you can assign a random password (it will never be used) to user "''nx''" using this command:\\ ''usermod -p <randompassword> nx''\\ and then unlock the account.
