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.
NOTE: All accounts are subject to this lock-out policy.
An Appliance 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.
If an account becomes locked, it will remain locked until the duration time has elapsed, the switch
is power cycled or an administrator unlocks the account. A User Administrator may only unlock
user accounts, while a Appliance Administrator may unlock any type of account.
To enable or disable the Security Lock-out feature:
1. Click the Configure tab in the OBWI, then click the User category in the left column.
2. Select the Enable Lock-outs check box and enter a lock-out duration if necessary.
NOTE: Disabling Security Lock-out will have no affect on users that are already locked out.
To unlock an account:
1. Click the Configure tab in the OBWI, then click the User category in the left column.
2. Select the check box next to the username you wish to unlock.

Unlock button. The lock icon next to the username will disappear.
