# manager unlock

This command unlocks a VMS manager user that was locked out after exceeding the maximum number of failed login attempts.

## Usage

```plaintext
manager unlock --id ID
              [--password PASSWORD]
              [--enable-is-temporary-password]
              [--disable-is-temporary-password]
```

## Required Parameters

| `--id ID` | Identifies the manager with the manager ID. |
| --- | --- |

## Options

| `--password PASSWORD` | Sets a new password. |
| --- | --- |
| `--enable-is-temporary-password` | Sets the password as temporary, which means that VMS allows the manager to log in with the temporary password within seven days. The only action available to the user after logging in with a temporary password is to change the password. |
| `--disable-is-temporary-password` | Disables temporary password setting. |

## Example

```plaintext
vcli: admin> manager unlock --id 14 --password 85tRuFYu --enable-is-temporary-password
