Hi!

Thanks to Gustavo Gibson da Silva, Oyanarte Portilho, Hardinder Singh,
Matthias Nolte and Blue Moon Network Administrator (sorry, didn't know your
name).

My problem was that one of my users logged in 10 times incorrectly on my
console. After that the account was locked and the terminal. Unlocking
the account was no problem using "edauth" and removing the u_numunsuclog#
entry. However, I could not open the console again.

It was rather strange but the dxdevice-program told me that the device was
unlocked even though it was locked

The easiest way for me to open the console again was to disable the
terminal lock-out feature by using the "dxdevices" program.
