If your user can’t login and is receiving this error message, you need to reset his unsuccessful login attemps.

Check his unsuccessful login counter with lsuser

# /usr/sbin/lsuser -a unsuccessful_login_count <username>
username unsuccessful_login_count=4

Then reset the counter with chsec
# /usr/bin/chsec -f /etc/security/lastlog -a unsuccessful_login_count=0 -s <username>
