# Incorrect Password Entries

If you enter a password incorrectly, the terminal displays an Access refused error message. The **Password** field re-appears, prompting you for the required password with a number in parenthesis, which represents the number of tries remaining before the terminal locks out the user profile. An operator has 5 attempts to enter the password correctly; the counter resets after the password is entered correctly. If you incorrectly enter a password 5 times, the terminal locks and requires that you contact Technical Support to obtain a Superuser password.&#x20;
