The 'logintries' should be updated in database via the cron job
'user_login_tries_to_zero' that should run every 5 minutes.

Is your cron running correctly?

Doing a: select * from config where field like '\_%';
should show you if any cron locks have got stuck

You can clear them out with:
delete from config where field like '\_%';

Title:
   Blocked account after entering the wrong password

Status in Mahara:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  
  After entering five incorrect passwords, the account is reportedly blocked for five minutes.
  In fact, after five minutes, the account is still blocked.

  
  I found two solutions

  1.Change variable MAXLOGINTRIES; from 5 to (for example) 10 in htdocs/auth/user.php
  define('MAXLOGINTRIES', 10);

  2.Change variable LOGINTRIES in database; from 5 to 0.

  But apparently it should not work this way.
  Can I change or add something in user.php or somewhere else?
