HI, 

 

As per my understanding, you made a request by webservice third part and after that your service user account got locked out. If yes, then Servicenow has a property that specify the number of failed attempts user allowed to sign-in. if attempts increase the specify number the account got locked out and you have to manually unlock by navigating to User Administration > User and uncheck the Locked out field. 

 

Please mark this accepted/helpful, if applicable

 

Thanks & Regards,

Hi

I guess, the password used for accessing the WebService is wrong. That way, the user gets locked after "a few" attempts. Just cross-check the password used for the call. Remember case-sensitivity.

Let me know if that solved the issue.

Hi

While testing, it may happen that you have different tests running around.

So, maybe there is a another different routine running and trying to access "something", which uses the same user.

Did you change the password recently? That would be a good indicator for my guess.

Let me know if that answered your question and mark my answer as correct and helpful
