I would strongly suggest using 'sudo vipw -s' instead of directly editing /etc/shadow. It's a wrapper that makes sure you don't accidentally introduce syntax errors and break your whole system. -- 'Account has expired' message when adding a new user, after "passwd -l root" https://bugs.launchpad

The importants of this bug has been set to high and the number of duplicates is staty growing. A workaround for those who are affected: $ sudo vim /etc/shadow change the line: root:!:13919:0:9:7::1: to root:!:13919:0:9:7::: You have to redo this everytime you use 'passwd -l $USER'
