Unlocking a terminal

Note: By default, you can use this facility only if you have a security authorization level of 9.

If a login password is entered incorrectly from a particular terminal more times than is allowed by the PASSTRY parameter on the TERMINAL, PROFILE or SYSTEM statements then that terminal is locked by IBM Session Manager.
