Listener password failures do not lock the password, unfortunately; but it
is possible to identify the failed logins. The listener log shows entries
similar to the lines below

05-JUL-2003 21:14:39 * services * 1169
TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password

Note the lines "TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password ",
which could mean as simple as a fat fingered DBA or repeated attempts to
break in. As a rule of thumb, I scan TNS-01169 errors and review them
periodically.
