User Lockout Function - Ricoh MP C6502 series Operation Manual

User Lockout Function

If an incorrect password is entered several times, the User Lockout function prevents further login
attempts under the same user name. Even if the locked out user enters the correct password later,
authentication will fail and the machine cannot be used until the lockout period elapses or an
administrator or supervisor disables the lockout.
To use the lockout function for user authentication, the authentication method must be set to Basic
authentication. Under other authentication methods, the lockout function protects supervisor and
administrator accounts only, not general user accounts.
