By default, your account should not automatically lock out when the password is entered incorrectly. To change this, double-click on the Account lockout threshold entry.

In this dialog, enter the number of times you want to allow before your account will lock out. We entered 3, so our account will automatically lock out if the password is entered incorrectly 3 times in a row. Click Ok to save your settings.

You’ll now see your new settings in the Local Security Policy dialog. With our settings, our account will be locked for 30 minutes if the password is entered incorrectly 3 times in a row. If you want to change the settings, simply repeat these steps and enter the new settings you want.
