# Unlocking user

### How any user is locked?

While trying to log into any company, the user might enter the wrong password multiple times and click on the log in button. If the number of entering the wrong password exceeds the acceptable number set in the company settings, then the user is locked.

### Who can unlock the user?

Only the user with company admin rights can unlock the user.

### How the user can be unlocked?

There are two ways to unlock the user:

1. If the company has [<mark style="color:purple;">**Reset password**</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">settings</mark>](/general-system-settings/authentication-settings/password-settings.md) configured then the locked user will see **Reset Password** button on the locked screen message as shown in the above image. Clicking on the Reset password button, the locked user will be able to reset the password.
2. If the company doesn't have Reset password settings configured, then the company admin can unlock the user.
