<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
<P>The <B>kas unlock</B> command unlocks the Authentication Database entry
named by the <B>-name</B> argument. An entry becomes locked when
the user exceeds the limit on failed authentication attempts, generally by
providing the wrong password to either an AFS-modified login utility or the
<B>klog</B> command. Use the <B>kas setfields</B> command to
set the limit and the lockout time, and the <B>kas examine</B> command to
examine the settings.
<P>To unlock all locked user accounts at once, shutdown the
<B>kaserver</B> process on every database server machine, and remove the
<B>/usr/afs/local/kaauxdb</B> file from each one. The
<B>kaserver</B> process recreates the file as it restarts.
<P><STRONG>Options</STRONG>
<DL>
<P><DT><B>-name
</B><DD>Names the Authentication Database entry to unlock.

see the introductory <B>kas</B> reference page.
<P><DT><B>-password_for_admin
</B><DD>Specifies the password of the command's issuer. If it is
omitted (as recommended), the <B>kas</B> command interpreter prompts for
it and does not echo it visibly. For more details, see the introductory
<B>kas</B> reference page.
<P><DT><B>-cell
</B><DD>Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see
the introductory <B>kas</B> reference page.
<P><DT><B>-servers

establish a connection. For more details, see the introductory
<B>kas</B> reference page.
<P><DT><B>-noauth

issuer. For more details, see the introductory <B>kas</B> reference
page.
<P><DT><B>-help

are ignored.
