Yao and Linux

It is always difficult for me to remember so many system password.  I got such error messages when attempt to login to an AIX for 4 times,

3004-303 There have been too many unsuccessful login attempts; please see the system administrator

After some googling, I found it is a question frequently asked question.  Many other people can't remember password either, :)

Type the command below in shell as root,
root@aix:/ # /usr/sbin/lsuser -a unsuccessful_login_count <username>
username unsuccessful_login_count=4

Then reset the counter with chsec

root@aix:/ # /usr/bin/chsec -f /etc/security/lastlog -a unsuccessful_login_count=0 -s <username>
