How to unlock FBA user account

Question

Hello,

In SharePoint 2016, I've created an FBA user account. I've tried to reset the password but got an error that the account is locked. I've noticed on the "Manage Forms Based Authentication Users" page that this account is locked. How can I unlock this account?

Hello @MDuBose ,

In SQL FBA DB, in the asp_membership table that has an IsLockedOut column(boolean type). You need to set the column value to false. Then the user will be unlocked.

Thanks,
