CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 286

A user has incorrectly typed in a password four times and has been warned the account will be locked after two more attempts. Which of the following will MOST likely resolve the current situation?

Answer options

• A. Password expiration
• B. Password reset process
• C. Password reuse
• D. Password manager

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as initiating a password reset process allows the user to establish a new password before reaching the lockout threshold. The other options do not directly address the immediate issue of the user being locked out due to incorrect attempts.
