Accounts are locked-out as a security feature when there are too many failed login attempts within a certain period. In order to unlock your account with this tool you must first have previously enrolled in the password self service tool.
Tip: Locked-out accounts will unlock automatically after a set period. Additional failed attempts will reset this period timer. If you have not enrolled in the self-service tool and cannot wait for your account to unlock then you must contact the Digital Commons (students) or the IT Help Desk (faculty/staff).
