# Unlock User Account

Unlocks a locked user account on a managed Mac.

#### What It Does

Sends a command to unlock a user account that has been locked out - typically due to too many failed password attempts. This restores the user's ability to sign in without requiring a password reset.

#### How to Use

1. Open the device and navigate to **Local Users**
2. Select the locked user account
3. Tap **Unlock** to confirm
