Enabling Security Lock-out and unlocking user accounts

When the Configure tab is selected, the Admin and other users with Appliance Administrator
rights can click the Users option in the left menu to configure the Security Lock-Out feature.

the appliances is power-cycled, or an administrator unlocks the account. A User Administrator can
