Whether a blacklisted user and user account are locked depends on the locking setting:
•
If a user account is permanently locked for a user, the user cannot use this account unless this
account is removed from the password control blacklist. To remove the user account, use the
reset password-control blacklist command.
•
To use a temporarily locked user account, the user can perform either of the following tasks:
Wait until the locking timer expires.

Remove the user account from the password control blacklist.

•
If the user account and the user are blacklisted but not locked, the user can continue using this
account to log in. The account and the user's IP address are removed from the password
control blacklist when the user uses the account to successfully log in to the device.
NOTE:
This account is locked only for this user. Other users can still use this account, and the blacklisted
user can use other user accounts.
The password-control login-attempt command takes effect immediately after being executed, and
can affect the users already in the password control blacklist.
