I have a problem with my root login accout getting deactivated once several attempts to login are failed. Is there somewhere where it deactivates your login if you try several times to login with an invalid password? I have looked in the /etc/passwd file, but see nothing there nor the .profile. Any suggestions? I just dont want to have my root account locked or deactivated.
