clear account [all | name] lockout

Description

Re-enables an account that has been locked out (disabled) for exceeding the permitted number failed login attempts. This was configured by using the configure account [all | name] password-policy lockout-on-login-failures [on | off] command.

Syntax Description

all Specifies all users.
name Specifies an account name.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

This command applies to sessions at the console port of the switch as well as all other sessions.

You can re-enable both user and administrative accounts, once they have been disabled for exceeding the 3 failed login attempts.

Note

The failsafe accounts are never locked out.

This command only clears the locked-out (or disabled) condition of the account. The action of locking out accounts following the failed login attempts remains until you turn it off by issuing the configure account [all | name] password-policy lockout-on-login failures off command.
