A NetApp administrator is investigating an authentication failure where a user cannot log in to ONTAP System Manager. The audit log shows 'Authentication failed: account locked'. The user's password is correct, and the account was locked due to a brute-force attempt. The administrator unlocks the account, but it locks again within minutes. Which action should the administrator take to prevent immediate re-locking?

Reset the user's password to a new value

Increase the lockout threshold to a higher value

Disable the lockout policy temporarily

Check for a script or service using the user's credentials with an incorrect password
