Locking and Unlocking a User Account
Locking a user account prevents a local user from logging into the appliance. A user account can be
locked in one of the following ways:
AsyncOS locks a user account if the user exceeded the maximum number of failed login attempts
defined in the Local User Account & Password Settings section.
Administrators can manually lock user accounts for security purposes using the System
Administration > Users page.
