If a user’s password has expired, or the user is unable to log in within the 

configured limit for login attempts, then the user is locked out of the 
system, and cannot gain access without the intervention of an 
administrator.

To restore access to a user who had been locked out of the system, use 
the 

following command:

clear user username lockout

If a user has been locked out of the system because of an expired 
password, you must first assign the user a new password before you can 
restore access to the user.

The following command restores access to user Nin, who had previously 
been locked out of the system:

WX# clear user Nin lockout
success: change accepted.

User password information can be displayed with the display aaa 
command. For example:

WX# display aaa
...
...
set authentication password-restrict enable
set authentication minimum-password-length 10
...
