unlockuser WORD

This command unlocks a user account that is locked due to multiple authentication failures.

Syntax:

unlockuser WORD

where WORD stands for the user name to be unlocked.

Three successive logon failures result in locking of a user account. The admin can then unlock the user account using this command. Once unlocked, the user can continue to use the same password.

Note

• The local administrator cannot be locked out to ensure that administrative access is always maintained.

• The userpasswd command can also be used to unlock a user account. However, in case of userpasswd, the user will receive a new password.
