Locking and Unlocking User Accounts

If a user enters an invalid password five consecutive times, the Security Lock-

Out feature, if enabled, will temporarily disable that account. If a user

attempts to log in again, an appropriate error message is displayed.

NOTE:

All accounts (User, User Administrator, and Remote Console Switch

Administrator) are subject to this lock-out policy.

A Remote Console Switch Administrator can specify the number of hours (1

to 99) that accounts will remain locked. When Enable Lock-outs is

unchecked, the security lock-out feature will be disabled and no users will be

locked out.
