unlock db2 db

Hi All,

I have a db2 database named xmeta owned by user 'xmeta'(my datastage repository db).
Now i found that 'Login failed for user 'xmeta'. Reason: The account is disabled'.

i heard that DBA should do an "alter user xmeta account unlock if it is oracle repository.
But mine is db2 and don't know how to unlock/enable this account.
I only installed DB2 and don't have any DBA.
Could you please help me on this issue?

DB2 uses operating system authentication, so make sure that account is set up and enabled in the OS. You should be able to logon to the box (outside of DB2) before proceeding.
