Q: Accounts locked on server
Hello,
I have a Mac Mini server running Yosemite, and for some time now have had problems with accounts being disabled. As of today, every single account has been disabled and I can only boot up into single user mode. I seem to recall that there was a way of deleting the global security policy but for the life of me can't remember how. I have searched the forums where I remember looking previously but can't find the commands to disable/delete the security policy. The last time this happened I was able to log in once the policy was deleted.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Regards,
Andy.

I think I found it in this article: OS X Server (Yosemite): Global policies can lock out Admin accounts - Apple Support
At least I was able to unlock one administrator account using this method and will try to review the server global policies or make all users local and disable the (unused) server.
