Property Value

true if the membership user is locked out and unable to be validated; otherwise, false.
Remarks

Users are most commonly locked out and cannot be validated by the ValidateUser method when the MaxInvalidPasswordAttempts is reached within the PasswordAttemptWindow.

Users can also be locked out if you use the GetPassword or ResetPassword overload that accepts a password answer and the number of bad answers entered by the user reaches the Membership..::.MaxInvalidPasswordAttemptswithin the Membership..::.PasswordAttemptWindow.

Usage Example
You cannot set IsLockedOut, only inspect it. To reset the lock out use the following code:

public void UnlockUser(string UserName)
{
  MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser(UserName);
  if (user == null && !user.IsLockedOut) return;
  user.UnlockUser();
}
