How do I stop this 2 hour lock out on my pc?

Anonymous

Every time I shut down my pc and get on later I have to wait 2 hours before accessing my pc. It’s very annoying as when I get home I don’t have much time to get on it let alone wait 2 hours. Please tell me if there is a way to turn or bypass this 2 hour lock out.

Hi,

Kayece here. I am an Independent advisor and a user just like you. I will be happy to assist you today.

I understand that you were locked out of your PC for two hours before you could access it. It appears that a policy has been set on your computer that locks your account for two hours after multiple failed password attempts.

The most straightforward approach is to wait for the Lockout Time to expire, however, I understand that waiting can be inconvenient. Instead, you can follow the methods provided by users in the links below to resolve accounts that are locked out for two hours.
