passwords lock-out
As the administrator, use the passwords lock-out command in Global 
Configuration mode to strengthen the security of the switch by enabling the 
user lockout feature. When a lockout count is configured, a user who is 
logging in must enter the correct password within that count. Otherwise that 
user will be locked out from further switch access. Only an administrator with 
an access level of 15 can reactivate that user. 
Use the no form of this command to disable the lockout feature.
