Project Account Locked - Password reset does not allow account to be unlocked

(Q) Why doesn’t password reset allow for the account to be unlocked? (A) Accounts will become locked if an incorrect password is entered 5 times within a relatively short space of time, or if the user has been inactive for a pre-defined number of weeks/months. Unfortunately the password reset does not allow for the account to be unlocked. The user accounts were created initially without any auto-lockout feature, so the reset password facility was and is purely that; to reset passwords. The locking of accounts came about later on in development. The unlock mechanism is currently on the admin facility only.
