Why each option
Cisco Unity Express enforces a configurable security password lockout policy that limits the number of failed login attempts before locking an account. The factory default for the maximum number of login attempts in CUE is 24.
3 attempts is not the CUE default maximum; it represents a more restrictive custom threshold that an administrator would need to manually configure.
5 attempts is not the default maximum login attempt value defined in Cisco Unity Express's factory security password lockout settings.
8 attempts is not the factory default for the CUE security password lockout policy maximum attempts parameter.
10 attempts is not the default value for maximum login attempts in Cisco Unity Express and is not defined as such in CUE documentation.
In Cisco Unity Express, the security password lockout policy is configured with the 'security password' command, and the default maximum number of login attempts before an account is locked is 24. This default applies when no administrator has explicitly changed the lockout threshold via the CUE CLI or GUI. Administrators can lower this value to enforce stricter account lockout policies in security-sensitive deployments.
30 attempts exceeds the default threshold and is not the value prescribed by CUE's out-of-the-box security password lockout configuration.
