Turn off 10 minute lockout after 3 failed log in attempts. - rqkeating - 06-18-2023
The pinetab2 is set to stop you from logging in for 10 minutes if you mess up your password 3 times in a row. Here is how to turn this off.
There is a file called /run/faillock/<your login name>. It is an empty file. Its presence causes this behaviour. You can delete the file (use sudo) and that stops the 10 minute lockout. No reboot needed.
