Linux Reset Account for Too Many Authentication Errors

scottalanmiller

First, look up to see how many authentication errors that there have been:

# pam_tally2 -u username

Then you can reset it like this:

# pam_tally2 -r -u username

Wow this must be an old server. pam_tally was replaced with faillock in RHEL 6.
