There are many infected machines on the internet that constantly scan servers and try to guess passwords through brute force attacks. Windows has a built-in security policy that locks out user accounts after several failed login attempts — and this can accidentally lock you out of your own server.
We recommend disabling this lockout policy to prevent it from happening again.
1. To do this, log in to billing and go to the "Virtual private servers" section. Select your server and click "Go to panel".
Important: Bots will continue scanning and attempting to access your server. Since the lockout protection is now off, your password is your only line of defense. We strongly recommend using a long, complex password.
