Hi Ann,
This behaviour is defined in your SYSTEM CONFIG file in the 'Journaling
Information' section. Here is ours:
Journaling ,
Facility On ,
Set_and_Query Off ,
Logon ,
Lockout after 10 attempts for 60 minutes ,
Account after 0 attempts ,
Message after 10 attempts to OPERATOR ,
VM_Logo after 5 attempts ,
Link ,
Account after 0 attempts ,
Message after 0 attempts to Operator ,
Disable after 10 attempts
Once a user has reached the logon lockout limit, I know of no way to
reset the user. They must not attempt to logon for 60 minutes, or else
the timer starts again.

On a test system with zVM 5.3 someone tried to logon with incorrect
password more than the allowed 5 times. Does anyone know where the 60
minutes or other value is set to allow the user to logon again ?
HCP780E (XAUTOLOG failed for userid -) Maximum password attempts
exceeded, ,
try again later.
,
,
Explanation: You attempted to logon using LOGON, AUTOLOG or XAUTOLOG
with an ,
incorrect password more times than the system permits. For security
reasons, ,
the system will not allow you to logon until a waiting period has
passed. ,
,
System Action: When the number of unsuccessful logon attempts exceeds
the ,
limit of ten (or the limit defined by the system administrator), the
system ,
issues this message and denies further logon attempts for 60 minutes (or
for a,
period of time defined by the system administrator).
,
,
User Response: Try to logon again later with the correct password. If
you do ,
not know your password, contact your system administrator for
assistance. ,
