Setting the number of incorrect password attempts

As an administrator you can set the number of consecutive logon attempts, using an incorrect password, before locking the user account. After the number of attempts you specify is reached, the next attempt locks the user account from making any further attempts.

To set the number of incorrect password attempts:

1. Click Users/Groups in the Administration window.
2. In the Number of incorrect password attempts field, enter a value from 1 to 99. The value 0 allows an unlimited number of attempts.
3. Click Apply.

To unlock a locked user account:

1. Click Users/Groups in the Administration window.
2. Right-click the locked user account.
3. Select Properties.
4. Reset the password.
