    Unlock a user

    Using Umbraco 7

    Hi there,

    I have locked my admin user and I can't get into the UI to update anything. I have access to the database and was hoping to be able to update a flag there to unlock my admin user. The error that I get when I try to log in is this:

    "Cannot validate member admin because they are currently locked out"

    I've traced it to the web membership provider but I have no idea what to do from there. Any help is appreciated. 

    Thanks

    You should update the userNoConsole field in the UmbracoUser to be false or 0.

    Thank you for your quick reply. I did as you suggested and increased the MaxPasswordAttempts in my web.config and I currently have passwordFormat="clear"

    I seem to still be getting this error:

    2014-08-04 11:17:26,940 [55] INFO  Umbraco.Web.Security.Providers.UmbracoMembershipProvider`2[[Umbraco.Core.Services.IMembershipUserService, Umbraco.Core, Version=1.0.5261.28127, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null],[Umbraco.Core.Models.Membership.IUser, Umbraco.Core, Version=1.0.5261.28127, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]] - [Thread 18] Can not validate member admin because they are currently locked out

    This is the admin row in the database: 

    id userDisabled userNoConsole userType startStructureID startMediaID userName userLogin userPassword userEmail userDefaultPermissions userLanguage defaultToLiveEditing
    0 False False 1 -1 -1 admin admin default [email protected] NULL en False

    I got the same problem. It's due to multiple password errors and I think in my case it's also coming from the fact that I switched network many times (different IPs)

    It could be confusing also because the first error you got is a JS error: 

    Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request)

    Then you check the log file and you see :

    INFO  Umbraco.Core.Security.BackOfficeSignInManager - Event Id: 0, state: Login attempt failed for username admin from IP address ::1, the user is locked

    Solution is to:

    1. change the "userNoConsole" field to false for your user in the "umbracoUser" database
    2. "Touch" your web.config (add a space and save it) or restart appPool
