If an incorrect password is entered a couple of times on VAMI it would lock you out from logging in again for a couple of minutes.

Here's the procedure to come out of it instantly so that you don't waste time anymore

Step 1

Identify how many login failures occurred with account "root"

pam_tally2 -u root

Step 2

Below command will reset this value to 0

pam_tally2 -u root --reset

Step 3

Verify if the value is back to 0

pam_tally2 -u root

Step 4

Test your login into VAMI, this should be working now
