Ontape failure - " Incorrect password..."

Hello, I'm running IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 10.00.UC1 on AIX 5.3.0.0. I'm trying to do a restore from an IDS 9.40.UC5, using "ontape -r". I'm getting this error on online.log: internal error (13) in passwdexpired() listener-thread: err = -951: oserr = 0: errstr = informix: Incorrect password or user informix is not known on the database server. I'm running the restore as user informix and there's nothing wrong with the password. It is not expired as I confirmed it login on to the server. Any hint? Where could be the problem? Could it be some information that comes with the backup? Thank you very much in advance. Cheers

This will not work. But it shouldn't give the error you're getting... Regards.
