Hi,

If a wrong password is used many times to log as root, does the root
account gets locked?

I was in a hurry and introduced a wrong password for root a few times
and now I can not log as root.

I think that I'm using the right password (although I can not be sure
100%). I checked the modification date of the files passwd and shawdow
and it seems that the root password has not been modified. I guess
that if somebody changed the password I should see it in the date of
shadow.

Best,
Dan
