account lock out for zero reason
i am getting account lock outs for zero reason how do i fully remove this useless feature?
So far I have tried and OS reinstall and at least that let's me log in and do chagnes on my admin page
So with an OS reinstall resetting the admin password to: `password`, the admin page works. Once I changed the admin password to the one I usually use the problem has returned. So this is definitely and issue with the admin password.
Some functions are locked out when the pasword is the default, so it could just be associated with the problematic function being locked out until you change the password. But that doesn't explain why everything works fine for most users but not all.
Are there any non-alphanumeric characters in the password you used?
- Yes, I ueed the pass in other version the problem is related to new os 6.10.5 there is another thread with many people experiencing the same problem
