Veritas NetBackup™ Administrator's Guide, Volume I

Unlocking a user account

A user account is locked if the number of invalid login attempts exceeds the specified number or if the idle timeout duration passes. The user account remains locked until the account lockout period passes. However, user accounts can be unlocked before the lockout period passes if there is an immediate need to access the NetBackup Administration Console.

The following procedure describes how to unlock user accounts.

To unlock a user account

  1. From the Actions menu, select the Unlock users option.

    The Unlock Users dialog box lists the names of the users whose accounts are locked.

  2. Select the users who you want to unlock and click Unlock.

    The user accounts become unlocked.

    Select the Refresh option on the top right of the Unlock Users dialog box. The user accounts that were unlocked do not appear in the list.
