I could able to login to db. what is the solution to resolve this issue and i am want to unblock the account. All the accounts, including admin account could not able to login.


Solution

  • Create a new username and password with admin rights in postgresql DB. Grant admin rights to the user. Login to the website using the new username and password. GO to adminstration - Authentication - check AUTOMATED USER BLOCKING Block user after this number of failed login attempts --Give the input Zero - 0 It will allow the user to login any number of times if they fail. thanks
