Unlock a Web User's account when it has been locked due to maximum login attempts reached.


A user's account can become locked if they have a certain number of failed login attempts (determined by site settings), or if they have completed B2B registration on the web but not yet been approved by an administrator. 

In either case, you can easily unlock their account in the CMS. 



BPD Sites

  1. In the CMS, navigate to Users → Website Users

  2. Search for the user you wish to unlock. 

  3. From here, you can click 'Approve User' to instantly unlock the account. 



  4. Alternatively, if you'd like to check the user's other details, click 'Edit'.
     
  5. You'll see a setting labelled 'Disable User Account' - toggle it off. 



  6. Click Save & Exit

Classic sites

  1. As an Administrator, navigate to Accounts → User Maintenance (/zUsers.aspx).

  2. Search for the required user account.

  3. Click 'Modify' to edit the user details.

  4. Edit the 'Deactivate User Account' flag so that it is not ticked.

    User Maintenance - Deactivate User Account
  5. Click 'OK' to save changes.

    You can also reset the user's password on this details screen if the user has forgotten their password.




A user's account will also become invalid if the debtor code to which they are attached is deleted or changed in PRONTO, and the corresponding web conversion has not taken place (refer to Converting a debtor code on the website for details).

In this case, the user's default debtor code needs to be updated. See Set Default Customer Account for Users for instructions.
