Explanation

When an NSX Admin account becomes locked in NSX Manager, this occurs due to failed login attempts exceeding the lockout threshold for either: UI login, which is tied to API authentication. Once locked, the only supported method to recover the NSX admin account is to log in to the NSX Manager console as the root user and manually clear the lockout counters. This is documented in NSX Manager password-recovery procedures and is the standard administrative recovery action. The root console provides access to: clear account-lockout admin or the equivalent reset methods within NSX Manager.
