    <description>&lt;P&gt;Do you have a 3rd. party monitoring, logging, automatization or $whatever script running which locks your root account?&amp;nbsp; If you try the wrong password 6 times or so the account will be locked for 900sec.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;BR /&gt;Joerg&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi everyone.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a server ESXi&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;6.5.0 Update 2 (Build 8294253). Everything was working ok, but just one day I log in with my root credentials and it says "Cannot complete login due to an incorrect user name or password", I don´t know what happens because it was ok. One day I could log in with root and I created a new admin user, I logged out again and again couldn´t enter with root. I entered with my new admin user and I changed de root password vía GUI and CLI and it says the change is ok, but when I want to log in wih root I got the same error, you know what happens?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Thank you!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;On the ESXi shell just execute "pam_tally2" and you will see how many false login per user.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Iam pretty sure that in hostd.log or auth.log you can see from which IP the wrong logins are commig.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;BR /&gt;Joerg&lt;/P&gt;</description>
