To check the login attempts to see if it needs to be reset type faillog -u <username>
root@linux:~ # faillog -u username

<username> 15 0
Reset the counter with the -r flag
root@linux:~ # /usr/bin/faillog -r username
Username Failures Maximum Latest
<username> 0 0
If you’re root but is not managing to become a user with su, you also need to reset the login counter
