Restoring Access to a

Locked-Out User

If a user’s password has expired, or the user is unable to log in within the

configured limit for login attempts, then the user is locked out of the
system, and cannot gain access without the intervention of an
administrator.

To restore access to a user who had been locked out of the system, use
the

following command:

clear user username lockout

If a user has been locked out of the system because of an expired
password, you must first assign the user a new password before you can
restore access to the user.

The following command restores access to user Nin, who had previously
been locked out of the system:

WX# clear user Nin lockout
success: change accepted.
