unlock: Allows a user who fails to log in after the specified number of attempts to continue trying to log
in.
Description
Use password-control login-attempt to specify the maximum number of consecutive failed login attempts
and the action to be taken when a user fails to log in after the specified number of attempts.
Use undo password-control login-attempt to restore the default.
By default, the maximum number of consecutive failed login attempts is three and a user failing to log in
after the specified number of attempts must wait for one minute before trying again.
If prohibited permanently, a user can log in only after you remove the user from the blacklist.
If prohibited temporarily, a user can log in again after the lock time elapses or an administrator removes
the user from the blacklist.
If not prohibited to log in, a user is removed from the blacklist as long as the user logs in successfully or
after the blacklist aging time (one minute) elapses.
Related commands: display password-control, display password-control blacklist, and reset
password-control blacklist.
