By default, users are locked out of the Control Center if their login attempts fail a configurable number of times within a configurable number of minutes. The lock is automatically released after another configurable number of minutes. However, you can use the Control Center Login Status screen to unlock users before the automatic unlock process takes place. This screen also enables you to force-lock existing users if a security issue involving a user becomes apparent. You can also unlock or force-lock another administrator by using the same method. See the Control Center Management Guide.
