Manually Locking and Unlocking User Accounts
The user lockout unlock command is used to manually lock or unlock a user account. This command is
only available to the admin user or a user who has read/write access privileges to the switch.
To lock a user account, enter user lockout and the username for the account. For example,
-> user lockout j_smith
To unlock a user account, enter user unlock and the username for the locked account. For example,
-> user unlock j_smith
In addition to this command, the admin user or users with read/write access privileges can change the user
account password to unlock the account.
If a lockout duration time (see “Configuring the User Lockout Duration Time” on page 9-25) is not config-
ured for the switch, then it is only possible to manually unlock a user account with the user lockout
command or by changing the user password.
