Managing Your Switch Using the Remote Console Switch Software AMP : User Access Rights. : Locking and Unlocking User Accounts

Locking and Unlocking User Accounts
If a user enters an invalid password five consecutive times, the Security Lock-Out feature will temporarily disable that account. If a user attempts to log in again, the software client application displays an appropriate error message.
NOTE:
All accounts (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.
If an account becomes locked, it will remain locked until the duration time has elapsed, the Remote Console Switch is power-cycled or an Administrator unlocks the account via the AMP. An Administrator may unlock only user accounts, whereas a Remote Console Switch Administrator may unlock any type of account.
