CAUTION:
•
When the authentication mode is set to

consecutive unsuccessful password attempts.
•
In
scheme
authentication mode, a user who fails to provide the correct password during five consecutive
attempts must wait 15 minutes before trying again. Trying again before the 15-minute period elapses
restores the wait timer to 15 minutes and restarts the timer.
