Fixed the user password issue: i used the passwd <username> instead of usermod -p> or useradd -p <password>

I also tried usermod -p <password> username but still cannot. What am i missing? I suspect that the user account is disabled. If thats the case how do i enable the user account?

The date is specified in the format YYYY-MM-DD. What am i doing wrong? Any clues?
