We changed the unix client password to min 8 digit, as PCI standard, then we are not able to connect to client, please suggest.

Where did you change the password rule, and on what exact operating system and version?

Actually Our UNIX AUDIT Policy set the password age to 90 days. then we force to change the password, then we are not able to login we are using the HPUX UNIX.

Hmm. I vaguely remember that there was a bug where the DataStage clients would not accept a password longer than eight characters (but was OK with equal to eight). Check with your support provider, or Fix Central, whether there is a patch for your exact DataStage and operating system versions.
