Abstract
A system and method for preventing login lockout to a restricted space is provided. The system identifies first login information and prespecified login information that are used to access the restricted space. The prespecified login information has the first login information and an additional character. The system determines an event of failed login attempts based on failing to enter the first login information meeting a threshold condition of a preset amount of times. In response to failing to enter the first login information, the system requires a user to enter the prespecified login information in order to access the restricted space. The system can also determine that the correct prespecified login information was provided and then grant access to the restricted space.
