SolutionYes u can restrict user to login after 3 wrong attempt of login and make it unlock also.
Please edit the file /etc/default/security
set the options as you want.
U can also set password length,password expiry, and many more.
To unlock the user,
#/usr/lbin/getprpw username
this is check
#/usr/lbin/modprpw -k username
to unlock the account.
Hope this solves ur query.
Don't forget to assign points.

Re: wrong password attempt
You can do it using command line and sam.
command line.
/usr/lbin/modprdef -m umaxlntr=9
and you can verify using command
/usr/lbin/getprdef -m umaxlntr
through sam.
sam>>Auditing and Security>>System Security Policies>> Terminal Security Policies... >>
Use this screen to set system policies for
terminals. Policies apply to all terminal
unless terminal-specific policies are set.
Unsuccessful Login Tries Allowed: 50
Delay Between Login Tries (sec.): 2
Login Timeout Value (sec.): 0
