Does anyone know how to lock the password if user enters wrong password thrice ?
Thanks in advance.

This can’t be done if you’re talking about the Notes client. For the internet password, IIRC, the sample DSAPI filter available with the C API toolkit does exactly this.

If you wanted to be mean, you could write a program that intercepted the Notes password prompt by registering for the EM_GETPASSWORD extension manager hook and deleted the ID file after three failed login attempts… but there is no way to lock out the ID file itself. And if you did, the poor user would lose access to all of his or her old encrypted mail, documents, and databases, which is almost certainly not what you intended.
The ID file isn’t just a password-equivalent that can be reset (or re-registered) at an administrative whim – it is a storage mechanism for all of the keys, certificates, and other data that defines a Notes entity. Many of the mechanisms that are commonly used in password-based systems (password checking, resets, lockouts, etc) have little or no bearing within the Notes environment.

You could reformat the hard drive if you really felt like it. That would probably do in the ID file.
